Hey Scott,
Great write up! I'm in the "don't have a relationship, but want one"-category myself, but I am definitely not seeking a relationship to fix myself. I'm not broken. Well, apart from the fact that I seem to be inadvertently attracting people who need fixing lately - need to work on that.
I like how you said that relationships are about doing not having. Reflecting on my existing relationships, there is definitely truth in those words. For example, my band are like family to me, but that relationship exist only because of what we do together (make music).
My desire for a romantic relationship is also based on the need to do the things you do in a romantic relationship. I don't need a trophy girlfriend to impress my buddies...
Jim.
