( Those cheerleaders sound like the kind of people he used to be friends (well, "friends") with.
But, mm. If he finds someone who makes him happy... Even though he...? —Something about the sentiment rings familiar to Mithrun - Tylor did this, too. It's not any better to hear with someone else.
He cuts that thought off there. If he thinks objectively about it - does he really mind? Does he really desire for anything else? It's fine if people want to touch or kiss him or even say they like him. It doesn't mean they have a desire for commitment.
(And what is there to commit to, when Mithrun isn't sure yet if he agrees it's worth growing old?)
This is something he's never had much experience with. He fell in love young and never engaged in casual intimacy after that. He often looked down on people who did back when his head was whole. It's easy to forget that touch and romance are simple things for some people. )
... You will. It's nice spending time with you.
