do I really need a girlfriend??

we'll it's not compulsory to have one. if you think it's not high time for you to have a girlfriend, then follow it. just don't be affected with the perks. Of course, you will not get one just to actually have one. You do because you're in love and you want to take care of each other.then don't start dating right away. get to know the girl first, "connect" first and then move on to a romantic level if you feel like it. that's how it was with me and my husband before.

..Hi there navintiwari08, Welcome to the ranch, enjoy, it's a nice place to meet new friends. As you get older you will find out that a lot of people want you to think like they do. But you only have one life, so you will have to decide if you are going to please other people or if you are going to please yourself. Life is short, you are very young now but in what seems to be a minute or an hour you will be older and you will wonder where the time went. Decide now to listen to opinions but decide what is best for you, based on your own feelings and information. If you want a girlfriend then try to find one, if not don't worry about it. You will mature with or without a girlfriend at this point. Let time and nature take their course, be comfortable with your own choices. Take care.

No Navinti you don´t need a girlfriend... someone can´t be needed as a tissue or a pencil. Time will come when love will make you look for your girlfriend. Blessings!... Dainy

Hi navin, You are just 19 and from India so really you donot need a girl friend at this age. Right now you need to give all your attention and energy to make your carrier and let me assure you once you have made something of you, girls would flock you like birds. If not girls then their parents would asking you to accept their daughter as your wife. And also beleive me thank your lucky stars that you dont have a gf.. they are nothing but heart aches :)

Well, it's not require for us to have a girl friend or partner. But it's a nature for us to love someone. It will be a good idea if you have a girl friend that inspire you all the time

Dude practically speaking theres nothing grown up if you have a girlfriend. Its just now a days becoming a status symbol and nothing else.It is not mandatory infact with it will come other stuff like hike in phone bill,expenditure and tension.

I am getting to the point that I am starting to think that I would be better off without one LOL

yes.. that's it, if you still don't understand the need of having a girlfriend -- don't. just think about it, what else do you get aside from slightly increased respect from your peer group? then maybe you can ask yourself more if you really need one. i admit, it's superb.. i mean the feeling of being in love is going to make you fly high. but it's going to make you crazy at the same time. you can't really tell that you can control because it's just a girl but when you go against your emotions, it's a big deal. it's supah hard. you will consider a lot of things once you're in a relationship no matter how simple your wants/needs be. it'll disturb you. but hey.. once you're ready and looking for something rocky -- go for it. ;) make sure, you got the right person. good luck. :)

There is no need for a girlfriend. You would be doing any young women a disservice to get into a relationship with her if you are not ready. There is a thing called fate that, due to experiences in my life, I believe in very much. And I also believe in a thing called Karma which I am relatively sure your supposed friend will get a good measure of sooner or later. Yes, things will automatically fall into place as they should when they should. Have fun!

Maturity arises when you no longer care what your friends think and you live your life the way you want. Having a girlfriend may mean a lot of things, but it rarely has anything to do with maturity - just with getting older.

When it is your time to have a girlfriend she will come along. I would not rush anything. Live your like to the fullest and be happy. There are so many young men that are so worried about having a young lady. Just wait for the right one to come along. It will happen when God is ready for it to happen for you. Have a great day!

You don't have to decide in haste. You don't get a woman for a girlfriend only to be said that you have grown-up. You will feel that urge to have a girlfriend when the real time comes that your attention is caught by that thing called love. Other have girlfriends because for curiuosity sake and not thinking about the real meaning of carrying a relationship. You are right, when you are ready for it, it will come into place. You are so good that you deserve to find a better girl!

I think you have a perfect attitude towards dating. When you're ready, you'll get a girlfriend who makes you happy. Relationships aren't about pleasing some social expectation that your friends might have. They're based on decision that you are ready to make based on emotions that you are ready to have. I wish you the best!

Would any self-respecting girl want you? That's what I'm waiting for: a girl who wants me! (Of course, that's with the knowledge that I am worthless ... and not just 'unworthy of her beautiful company hanging her arms on my shoulders-etc.', but WITHOUT-WORTH---with no worth but what my woman makes of me.) Turns out, most girls do not want their guys; they want the profits of their guys' salaries. And the guys don't want their girls either; they want the profits of their girls' salaries! All the lovey-dovey stuff, that's just to hold the two partners' salaries firmly in each other's ownership

Your only 19, that's still young in my book. So what if you don't have a girlfriend. Your friends are probably just jealous that you don't have to pay for another person or buy them things. I have a brother in law that's 30 and he's doesn't have a girlfriend. He has everything he needs. I also have an uncle in his 40's and he's never been married, or has a girlfriend. He's quite happy with his life. His main goal in life is to make sure my grandmother is taken care of. Like you said when the time comes, things will automatically fall into place. Until then live your life. Like I said your still young, I give anything to be your age again.

Hi,as so many mylotters have suggested, you don't need do what you are not ready to do just because of others. You know, nowadays, there are lots of teens who "fall in love" and get a partner, they are doing so because they want to enjoy the physical pleasure or because they can save face before others. Some even change boyfriends or girlfriends too often to show their charm. Well, i don't think they got charm because of that. On the contrary, it is a bad thing falling in love too early. Because teens maybe physical mature, but their spirit and mental condition still not completely mature, and they have the ability to support a family. And i think we 'd better concentrate on study at this time. After we enter college and have a job, when we are more mature in physically and mentally, and when we can take responsibility for what we have done, we can enjoy more beautiful love.

If you are not ready for a girl friend then you don't need one!...you will know when the time comes...you don't have to follow any trends...and as you say when the time comes things will follow it's own pattern and all will fall into the place where it belongs!

I'm 33 and no girlfriend. What do those people know? Here's a tip. Wait for the right girl, instead of getting a girl to be 'grown up'. When you find the right one, you'll be much better off. No need to hurry into a bad relationship.

You're pretty level headed in this love situation lol but your right too. From experience I could say that waiting is the best o_o cuz my last wasn't meant for me lol xD But for the growing up part...heart aches and sorrow makes you alot stronger after the mess is cleaned up then you can move on to another one :D BUT NEVER EVER CHEAT!!! Bad karma!!! xD At your age I think you should try dating other people and see what its like. some relationships may not end well but sometimes plain annoying but at the end you get a better scope of what Love really is and what your really want out of it. On the finding part...It'll come...so keep your eyes open. xD Good luck!

At my age you do not need a girl 19 years is not what a rush
