I'm not asking for a philosophical/anthropological/biological explanation. I'm asking which thoughts invariably lead to thoughts of "I need a girlfriend/boyfriend." Choose the strongest/most frequent example.

Explanations:
To distract yourself from the finality of death.
Such terrors plague you when you're alone, so you wish to be with another to distract from that fact.

Social Pressure.
You feel like a loser when you don't have such a relationship, and/or you think your social positioning would be improved by one.

Familial Pressure.
One or both of your parents wants you to have a girlfriend/boyfriend, and you feel you need/want to live up to their wishes.

Carnal Desire.
Butts, dicks, boobs, and tits. Parts is parts and you want to be the mechanic.

Feelings of loneliness.
Similar to option one, but the cause of your uneasiness is less specific.

Financial Pressure.
While this is similar to prostitution, it may be more like killing two birds with one stone. Perhaps your financial situation has gotten so bad that you immediately think of dating as help.

I don't desire such a relationship.
Rare but not impossible, and few will believe you, mainly because they can't understand it. But then again you're probably used to that.

Other.
The system can't define me man.

At the moment nothing...

I lack motivation for a few things though...

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

"Hey, I like that girl a lot. I should totally kiss her."

That's usually how it starts out.

I am the Carpet man they talk about... I jump from star to star, I walk it out.

I suppose a mix of 4 and 5.

I don't, and why people are so desperate to have one they'll stay with someone they don't even like baffles me.

I just want someone to love and to love me back on a deep level. Sex-ual intimacy is always a bonus too.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Or maybe people just like being intimate with another.

  • 01.04.2013 9:53 AM PDT

I love the companionship. I love the connection. My fiance and I understand each other so well. He knows when I'm feeling weird, happy, sad, angry - everything. He knows how to calm me down, he knows how to make me happy, he knows how to make me laugh.

Not interested in pursuing a relationship of any kind with people.

Canadian Na­zism is a polite ideology, ok?

Pretty much this. My girlfriend is also like my bestfriend, so I get a great friendship out of it as well.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Because you can't live your entire life alone and feel complete at the same time.

  • 01.04.2013 10:09 AM PDT

I just want company. What I look for in a girlfriend is someone I actually like to be around.

Sex is nice too.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Friends with benefits > girlfriend. All the good parts of a relationship without needing to remember dates.

More awesome than a shark high-fiving a bear during an explosion...IN SPACE.

Right now, I don't really want one.

Really. Who's lived their entire life both ways? Find me that person, and we can take option 1 off the list.
