why do girls feel the need to have a boyfriend?
459134
I used to feel this way. Just knowing that all my friends around me were getting boyfriends made me feel like I was getting behind. They would always talk about their experiences and gush about how happy they were...which now that I look back on it, isn't so important (because you don't need a guy to be truely happy...at least not when you still have time to find one) Wanting a guy, I thought, would make me feel complete. I wanted to know what love really was, or how it really felt (because as they say, you can't really know until you've experienced it) Girls want to feel special and maybe they want a little more excitement in their lives. Guys...you can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em :)

Do you mean to have a girlfriend who doesn't treat you like a piece of crap or, have a girlfriend because you feel like a crap without one. Anyways if you have a girlfriend that treats you like crap, find a new one. If you have no girlfriend be patient. You'll get one if you really want one. Your not a piece of crap. Lots of people have no girlfriend or boyfriend.

no u might just be more picky then her and waiting for the right guy. there is no reason to just accept who ever because u feel like u are lacking a boyfriend. wait for the right guy he will come along.

because everyone likes to feel desire the one there with. so if they start feeling that the person they are with doesn't desire them no more they will go out and find someone that will desire them they way they like. which breaks up couples

It's important to be happy with yourself. You can't define yourself by a man, or your relationship status. Most people like companionship, and so while you might be "happier" with a boyfriend, you need to be comfortable enough and confident enough with yourself to also be alone. It is important because you will be a more complete person when you know yourself better and accept who you are, which will make any future relationships better for you.

it's because alot of people are not mature or they are jealous.  some girls feel threatened when there boyfriends talk to other girls.

You can feel alone even when you are with someone. More than likely you are more mature than the guys you have been running into and have more of an intellect. When the right guy comes along he will notice you. Besides you may find if you go out with some of these guys you mentioned, that they are very shallow and have no real personality. You don't really want to have a boyfriend just to have a boyfriend. I would not let not having a boyfriend bother you. In fact, I would use the time you spend by yourself to allow you to become more independent. This may sound corny, but if you can be a friend to yourself and be happy being by yourself when the right guy comes along, he will see your self-confidence and that you know who you are on the inside, and your relationship with that special guy will last for a lifetime. When you run into that special guy on your journey through life, trust me, you will sparkle.

Wanting a boyfriend and NEEDING one are two different things. You should never NEED a boyfriend. You need to be secure in yourself enough to know that you can live your life for you. No other.\n\nWanting a boyfriend is fine. How to get one? Well, just start talking to guys you like. It will work itself out eventually. If you talk to enough guys you like, chances are, one of them will ask you out. From there, don't be needy. If it works out into a committed relationship, great. If not, move on.

The same reasons women do.  \n\nthe "game"...is all about having your cake and eating it too.\n\nAlot of people play mind games, such as leading someone on when they know they are not going to be faithful or to get something out of the relationship they would not have initially gotten.\n\nNo one really wants to be alone and men in general are more commitment-phobic then women so they are more likely to have a couple girls stung along until they find "something better."

most girls more or less need men who make girls FEEL GOOD about themselves and protected. They need a man who cares and makes her feel like she is the most special person in the world. If you are hot, and are only out for one night stands, and treat girls like pieces of meat, they'll treat you back the same way. simple.

maybe you shouldn't try to figure out how to GET a beautiful girl and learn how to be a girls friend and seeing where that goes.  And... if you need someone to make yourself feel good, you are never going to be able to be happy.  You can't use others to fill yourself up when you are empty inside.  Only you can fill yourself.

having a boyfriend has its ups and downs and it is nice to have one, but you're still an adolescent. patience is a virtue. someone will eventually find you.

You should be friends with yourself first.  Don't feel like you need a boyfriend to be a whole person.

I know.\nWhy?\nThey feel bad about themselves and make themselves feel better by going to someone nice.\nThey are just embarressed of themselves.\nThey know that they cant get someone so they go to a guy they can get and then they end up hurting you.

Mad props to you!!!!  You're more mature than most girls your age.  Teenage girls are notoriously insecure and petty, so many of them feel they need a boyfriend.  Pathetic, really.  You can have fun (sometimes more fun) without a boyfriend!  So they way you feel isn't a big deal.  And I've met a lot of girls who didn't really date until they were in their 20's.  A lot of them wanted to focus on their school work and their friendships in high school.  So hey, if you're happy without a boyfriend, you're better off than most girls your age.  You're happy with yourself.  Celebrate it and be proud of it.  And some day, a guy will love you for that.

For one YOUR A GOOD GUY. Ima girl and I dont always want a good guy.  I dont want him giving me everything I want. I want to feel like "I" have to work for it not them.  I promise thats exactly what they are lookng for. If they cant find it in you they end up finding it in someone who does do it. You know what that's telling you..?  They arent your soulmate. When you find a girl and you treat them how they want and yall r perfect for each other then she wont do you wrong.  But stop being so lovey lovey and stuff. Be aggressive!!
