Hey Karamagrrl and all others,<P>I'm not going to blast you or anyone else because you offer your opinion to my circumstances. I believe that is the reason for this forum. That is why I post here. I welcome other views. I might still have a little tunnel vision going on and need someone to bop me on the head.<P>Maybe I'm just stuck on stupid or dumb as dirt, but, I have taken a look at my friendships with members of the opposite sex and don't find it a prerequisite to be attracted to them. This is not to say I have ugly friends. I have been in the ambulance field for 21 years now and made some really great friendships with girls/women. <P>One incident out of a couple hundred friends. I will say that I did get dangerously close to sleeping with my partner years ago, but, thank God, cooler heads prevailed. You spend 12 hours a day in a truck with another, fighting life and death, how could you not get close. That's another topic, in EMS the divorce rate is significantly higher because of the stress and the emotional bonding that goes on. We both knew what the score was. I just chatted with her last night and we still can tell each other everything and anything. Recalling the incident we just laugh and are thankful that nothing happened. Once again she is blonde and tall and VERY attractive. [I can't seem to get away from that!]<P>I don't know if I'm helping or hurting my case here. Just the way I feel. Won't be sporting wood for a long time. <P>Just saying that I can have a female friend and not want to screw her.<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Medic
