I hope that one day you will find someone who will take your breath away and make you simply enjoy interacting with another human being.

I call those people "friends", and people typically have somewhat different criteria for friends and lovers. Not that they are mutually exclusive.

In my experience at least, living without "lovers" is vastly easier than living without "friends".
