TOTSE, how "important" do you think it is to have a gf/bf. I mean like does it prevent you from getting lonely/being anti-social. Or do we as humans need the affection?

Meh...

Shit! I don't even know if I even want to get into a relationship now. Although I KNOW for a fact that she has feelings for me and I am rather fond of her. Uhh....

Everyone is different. Some people don't seem to need it so much, while others really do. Perhaps it falls back to how much attention they received from their parents as children, but I'm not a psych expert.
I don't think that you should have to rely on other people for happiness because in the end all you have is yourself. Having said that, having a significant other (or many if you're into that) can be a great thing that makes life more enjoyable. It's really like having a best friend in some ways. Some people do. Some don't. It depends on how you feel for whatever reasons. Life rarely seems to offer definitive answers eh? :)

Yea I guess you're right. I have always relied on myself for just about everything. The problem with me is I have this huge barrier that disables me from getting close enough to people to the point where they could hurt me. So how do I deal with that?

Ahhh.... the "everything I've learned in life" thread... here, have some opinion.

If you're in any relationship because it's "important" to have a signifigant other, your relationships are and always will be :

1. Meaningless.

2. Superficial.

3. Needlessly painful.

4. Based on nothing but depression and neurotic codependence, with no positive qualities...

...and if for some reason that looks like a multiple-choice test to you, the answer is "all of the above."

Not only is being alone not all that bad... more importantly, if being alone *is* all that bad for you, you're waaaayyy too fucked in the head to be in any sort of relationship. This... probably includes friendship. Tough luck.

Relationships that are actually worth being in do sometimes happen. Here's a hint - they just... happen. No "will you be my boyfriend," no "hey, I'd like to get in her pants, how would I do that" just... you're kickin' it.... and then... you're... kickin' it. Only it really works really, really well.

Try to work on your head enough that you don't fuck it up when it happens. 'n that's usually not something one can do while in a relationship with someone who's just as fucked in the head as you.

Good luck in life.

I believe you're the one fucked up in the head Dr. Sigmund Freud.

well we don't actually need anyone to survive. Its just more fun spending it with that special someone. Also meaningfull relationships just kinda happen. Take my current relationship I just met her on a friday and it just kinda happened we get along GREAT! Then on the monday we were talking and she wanted to be my gf and was hinting at it then boom I asked her and she was. I had 11 other girls liking me at the time too and another 6 I could fool around with. But my current one is so amazing shes worth it all.

Need? No. It's nice to have someone you can actually trust in your life though.
