Why do so many people want Girlfriends/Boyfriends?

Post Reply New Topic

The reason that they want them is the reason why humanity as a species continues to survive and perpetuate(go figure )

They think they will be happier if they have a relationship?

I want somebody to be with for the rest of my life. I want to have a happy family and by doing so I will feel I have done most of the work in life I feel I need to do. Everyday I wonder more if it is possible that I will die alone, and see in the end that I have failed. I really hope that does not happen, I have been trying for a while now, and really worry about the future in a very negative way. But I still try to keep my head up.

I want a boyfriend because I want to feel loved.

Is that a good enough reason?

It's a better reason than many alternatives...

Actually I can't think of a better reason... I would just change it to being loved by the right type of person. Actually to want to be loved... not just feel it...

From my point of view, is so they are not lonely, Loneliness equals depression. If you need somone, their is little you can do about it. If you choose loneliness, you might as well work 7 days a week 365 days a year, to not do so isn't going to make you much happier.

I've never had a boyfriend before, I'd like to try it. I don't know if it would really make me less lonely though. Maybe. I would also like to have sex and I don't think I would be comfortable doing it with anyone who wasn't my boyfriend.

For me, yes. Shame you live on the other side of the world!

To fulfill their needs ....several needs.

I know when I was in my last relationship, 50 BC, I think that was the year. At first all my problems, went away, but then something happened, and that happiness disappeared. But we did'nt have a lot in common, so I think if you find the right person, you'll both be very happy.

I want someone who I can share my life and open up to with ease. I want someone I am perfectly compatible with. And I want someone to want me for those exact same reasons.

If I were wealthy, I wouldn't want anyone dating me simply because I was rich. And I definitely wouldn't want someone dating me just so she could tell everyone she has a boyfriend, thinking that she will "be like everyone else" if she has one.

Relationships are a lot of effort if the only think you want is sex. That's like getting married just so you can have sex.

I don't want relationships, just sex.

Again, I say...

As somebody who is 28 and never had a date, I think the reason people post that is because they want to feel affection for somebody other than a family member. I would love to date a guy, but because I am really shy, nobody really approaches me. I guess its partly my own fault, but I also have a set of criteria that would probably prevent me from dating most people (I would prefer the guy to be a Christian). I know that it limits me to whom I could potentially date, but I don't like the fact that nobody will ask me out or take that chance. In fact, most of my friends haven't had boyfriends and its never really been a priority of mine. But now that I am getting older, I really want to start to date and find somebody who could love me back for me being me and just love me for the fact of who I am and not see me as somebody who isn't dateable.

For me, I want a relationship; something that is more than sex and that has some meaning for me. But apparently, nobody is interested in me and probably won't be.

To me girlfriend = sex in it but don't really care how many times we do, i.e.:- I am flexible, anyone trying to use it against me will fail...

( When someone is only after sex it's either they got a high sex drive, have not had sex for that long, or have not had sex at all... ) So go & pay for it until you feel better... or find someone active...

Supporting each other, been they for each other, doing things together, experience things together, deep trust of open communication, doing things you normally do without each other to balance it out.

Don't really think they have time for shy people any more jayne, or they just run coz they mistake us for clingy, just coz we do care for them, plus the amount of junk out they against shy people now... Maybe we will find some people that don't look brainwashed...

& why are you thinking so complicated... We are animals, we normally do try to seek out someone, just human's get manipulated by self help books, mags that females read & get caught up in the bs... You just have things in your way. Like dating I don’t really think it works & who the hell came up with the 3 steps?

But normally getting a friend to ask someone out, family member to look out for the person you’re looking for, really I think kids have better heads than adult’s most of the time. Does not help what the medical industry has done to shyness like... Just cause's more problems...
