Honestly, I haven’t. I find some males pleasant enough to look at (i.e. Brian Molko) and some pleasant enough mentally (i.e. the Dalai Lama), but I just don’t have any sort of romantic or sexual attraction to people of my own sex.

I did entertain that notion when I was growing up. I secretly hoped I could turn into flames when I was being bullied as a kid, for instance.

In a romantic partner I look for the same things I look for in a friend, with the addition of physical attraction. Compassion, intelligence, humour, an appreciation for beauty and a fondness for books and music are all high criteria. I do have slight physical preferences that don’t truly dictate whether I’ll like someone, such as my preference for brown and red hair (which I believe I told you about before).
