I spent a day hanging out with one of my friends of the opposite sex over the weekend and I remember prior to going out how I wouldn't mind just sitting in and relaxing while reading a book or doing something by myself. Well throughout the day, we went to a couple places, exercised, laughed, got something to eat,etc... When I got back home later that evening, I opened my day and all of a sudden this feeling just swept right over me and if I had to describe it, it definitely felt something close to loneliness and envy. My apartment was quiet and dark with only the lights from the streetlights beaming in. At that moment I really wished I had someone to come home too, unwind with, and talk about my day with along with just someone to go out on outings with. It wasn't a bad feeling per say, it was actually pretty pleasant to experience since that's that the first time it's happened.
I don't have any romantic feelings for that person by the way and I do hang out with guy friends and I don't ever recall experiencing that feeling under any other circumstance when I departed from the people I was hanging out with.
I have felt similar but usually it was when I visited a friend and his wife/girlfriend for a few days. But now, seeing how imperfect/unbalanced many relationships are, I don't really feel anything at all.

Although you wouldn't mind staying single, you miss companionship.
Being in a relationship can be exciting and fun as opposed to doing things on your own.
People generally like companionship with someone, whether it is a friendship or romantic relationship. So after a period of satisfying companionship, I think it is natural to feel a little lonely when you go back to a period of not having that companionship.
Just get back into the things you enjoy, and you will be fine until the next time you hang out with your friend.
(This could be why some new relationships get moved too fast too. The desire for the companionship can cause people to forget the other things they love to do, and they "lose" themselves in relationship).

Yes, but the imagery isn't as lush.
I think about it every now and then, but it may be triggered by hanging out with a female friend, or an ex or just random.
BTW, I have had the urge at one time or another to sleep with just about every one of my female friends, which is not to say I would date all of them. Personality issues. But that is the truth.
