I sorted out my own life and did some crucial housekeeping.

But the male friend I ended up sleeping with out of convenience has actually turned out to be one of the longest sexual relationships I've had. So you never know what celibacy will toss to you.

Besides, I've found I find the best catches when I'm NOT looking.
