>Have never had a girlfriend before
Does having one justify being alive, or is it a minute bonus to life?
A lot of people don't even believe that love really exists, but I think they mean long term.
Getting a gf/bf is not a happiness pill. Misery likes company and being outwardly miserable (with someone you don't have a history with already) is unattractive.
three words: sexual market value
Happiness doesn't necessarily come from sex, but GOOD sex whenever you want it is certainly a good start.
When your single girls dont want you.
When your single you want a partner.
When your in a long term relationship you miss being single.
When youre in a relationship girls you never thought were in your league want you.
Its a vicious circle.
Its good but as with anything it has its downs. Youd be lucky to find the perfect partner.

People always say this shit, but it's not always true.
Sometimes people THINK they're unhappy because they don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend, but they're really just depressed in general. Obviously for them getting a GF/BF won't be a happiness pill.
On the other hand, there are plenty of people who are unhappy because they're sexually frustrated and lonely, and for them it really can fix their depression.
I got my first girlfriend at the age of 22, and it lifted me out of the morass of
>tfw no gf
>i will die a kissless virgin
>i will never know what sex feels like
>forever alone
and although it wasn't a perfect relationship by any means and I was unhappy about as much as every other young adult, it was regular unhappiness, and not this constant fog of depression, self-hatred and self-doubt.
Some people need a family.
Others work to justify their worth.
Find out what you need to enjoy life and just go with it. A relationship can spring out of the most unlikely of places. Life is not meant to be structured. It is in a constant everchanging state of chaos. Just go with the flow.

it depends entirely on what makes you happy in life. There is not one single lone component to a relationship. Theres sex, theres validation, companionship, theres mutually beared struggles and mutually shared goals, theres a socio-societal component, theres preparing for parenthood...
if any of those sound appealing, then a relationship is something you should try. but like >>18237850 said, it don't fix everything
