It's not as if I'm really hard up for a boyfriend. I'm not desperate for one and I certainly don't feel as if I've the time for one. But I must admit that I do feel lonely from time to time. I just feel the need for some form of physical affection... a hug, a kiss... but not sex. I just want to have someone who'll ruffle my hair lovingly, whose arm will be curled round my body protectively while I sleep, in whose arms I can feel safe...

I'm reasonably attractive. I'm intelligent. I've got a good job. And I have a great personality. So why is it that I've been single ever since graduation?
