I've accepted the fact that I haven't 'hooked up' with a girl ever. Haha, it's funny. Just as clarification (not rubbing it in): you've never kissed a girl? No, I have. Possibly our definitions of 'hooking up' are different. I would say hooked up means more than kissing but then again that phrase is never used in my groups of friends. Also, you completely took my point out of context. I never mentioned marriage and I never mentioned standing alone completely, just in some situations. I know myself that I have to sometimes get support as if I don't I become too fixated and miss the blindingly obvious.
