Thank you for the reply.

Hi StarRanger. I think you are new like me, so welcome to Girl Chat!

I don't think GLers NEED to be around Girls, we all have our own way of dealing with our situation and for some of us a more arms-length approach is best.

Of course I think I could have worded what I said better, and it really only applies to myself. I'd be foolish to try and project my beliefs unto the rest of the GL community. In my heart of hearts, I do really believe that every single one of us would be better off and happier if we had at least one special girl in our lives. I will say more about this later.

Also NEEDING a girl is NEVER HEALTHY

I suppose this is a failing of writing, it's often difficult to express a feelings of this nature. When I said "need", I did not mean a desperate kind of need. Human beings need food, they need water to live. I did not mean that we have that kind of need to be around girls.

I do stand by what I said. Of course what I said only really applies to me, but I am a Girl Lover. The depth of passion and emotional love that I feel for girls has become part of my identity. I have a mental, spiritual, emotional and physical love for little girls and teen girls. It is important to me that I do not repress that part of myself, and that means I feel a need to be around young girls. But it is not overwhelming and desperate, nor do I ever behave in a "needy" way. That's simply not part of my personality.

Of course I can survive without having any girls in my life at all. But that is all it would be, surviving. I would not be living. I would not be alive. A very important part of me would be dead inside, a part of me would never be truly happy. There would always be a void that could not be filled by any adult.

I know this isn't true for everyone. But it's true for me. I'm never as happy as I am when I around girls. They touch a part of my soul that few can reach. I love to make them laugh and smile. I have incredible fun with them, fun that I do not have with other adults.

Yes, my life would be much worse without girls in it.

All of this said my friend, I do understand what you are saying. I did not mean to speak for all Girl Lovers. I cannot. We are all different people and all have different ways of handling our life situation. I know, for me, being friends with young girls makes my life much better and happier. I wish it were this way for all of us. But I know reality and I know that I really am Lucky to have so many young friends who want to be around me.

I do not want to make this too long. I just want to say I am sorry if what I wrote upset you. I do understand your point, and I thank you for making it.

Actually, I would love to continue this discussion with you at some future point. Perhaps when we both get access to the chat room? I will talk to you soon friend.

Laterz.
