Friends with benefits end up boring me without real connection, while he can remain unattached through months on end - is this just a male vs. female thing? In part two of the conversation with my best friend, we open up about the romantic lives we've had and want to have, the way that traveling has changed our lives, and the differences in the way that we think and live (logically vs. emotionally).  I admit what it's like being "one of the guys," and he admits what he misses about a relationship.
