That doesn't surprise me. Perhaps it's a trait you should work on strengthening.

It would be problematic, if that sort of relationship was what I was after. As it stands, it actually makes things...easier.

I'd say it's more pragmatic than 'sweet'. A romantic relationship is not a possibility to begin with, and nothing could mean as much to me as his friendship. There's no sense in pining over something that's completely out of reach, particularly when what you already have is superior to it.

Finding someone I liked just as much isn't possible. But for the sake of argument, in that unlikely scenario I'd make the same choice. I'm not a lover, Gavin. I already have all the emotional support I might ever need, and I tend to my body's needs on my own schedule. There's nothing a romantic relationship could give me that isn't already at my disposal. And if there was...

I'm simply not meant for love.
