Are you the type of person who generally has lots of low-level intimacy with many people, or high level intimacy with only a few people? (Or are you another type of person)
My beloved and I had a very interesting conversation today about what we mean by being "mates" (in the non-UK sense of the word) -- and what exactly made our partnered relationship different from other types of relationships we seek and maintain (beyond our choices around sexuality). It was a fascinating conversation, and I'm still working some of it through in my head.
Personally, I tend to high level intimacy with a few people, although I have lots of "acquaintance level" relationships -- many more than my Beloved does.
