Lorraine, your approach definitely strikes a chord.
There seem to be a fair few of us, of both genders, who wouldn't mind some company on the road, but would also like to maintain that level of independance that sometimes takes so long to comfortably find a way to achieve. I'm not saying we have to be scouring the bush to find someone who is willing to be shower-free for weeks, but someone with an adventurous spirit who would be willing to settle for a tent rather than a hotel would suffice (hopefully someone who also convinvces you, once in a while, that a roof and real sheets for a couple of nights will be a fabulous idea).
Dave, I reckon you need to find yourself a nice littl' lady who is on her own bike. That way if you two have had enough of each other you can continue on your own paths, or meet up again when the dust has settled
I think Lorraine is onto something though: the single adventurers should sort themselves out! Not all of us always want to compromise all the time, but there definitely are some days when you are tired, frayed, and hungry and you really really just want someone else to decide 'left' or 'right'.
