Hi there. Most of the times, the question whether to be or not to be in a r/ship really depends on the individual. Whether it is a necessity or convenience, is entirely up to you. To some people who are in the company of good friends, relationship is an option. Because you're not alone most of the time and you do enjoy having fun with your buddies without no restriction, no limits and no certain someone that you'd need to think about before you make that shopping trip with your best girl friends. If you're single, you can do whatever you want and fulfill all your desires and dreams that might be influenced or changed after you get into a r/ship. However, if you're already or planning to be in a relationship, you must always remember that you must learn to balance between friendships and r/ship because to most girls, the latter will always outbalance the former. Always remember that, even if you're in a r/ship, you and your bf still have your own lives to live. Don't let the r/ship hold you down. if you always wanted to get your degree or reach the top of your career, achieve those dreams first and don't change plans just because your bf says differently. Being single is great and while you're at it, just enjoy life the way you want it. If it's time to be jump into the r/ship wagon, just take one step in a time. There's no need to rush. You wouldn't want to regret the decision that you've made today, 5 years down the lane right? If it's the right time, the right person will come. And my last advice would be, "If the right person comes along, you would be a necessity, not a convenience." =)

I think that having a boyfriend or girlfriend, if it is a good healthy relationship, is a wonderful thing. We as people were not meant to live our whole lives along, and a supportive partner can definitely be a great thing. And it keeps one from feeling alone. That said, it is also important to be comfortable with just yourself, and be happy with yourself. You can't be truly happy with someone else unless you are comfortable by yourself. That is my belief at least.

No, it's not necessary, but it does make a lot of people happier to be in a relationship. My boyfriend is the type of guy that can't be happy without a girlfriend. I do love him very much though, and I don't want anything negative to happen to our relationship. Come to think about it, I'm not happy single either. .

its not really necessary to have a girlfriend/boyfriend. one can still enjoy his/her life without having them.. some would say that having bf/gf will just destruct your concentration with your studies/work and so they prefer not to commit to anyone. they are enjoying being single..on the other hand, some others also would say that having gf/bf will help and inspire them with what they are doing.. it always depends on you. if you have gf/bf, its up to you if you allow them to destruct you or will help and inspire you.. the point there is you holds your life..just enjoy whatever you have... Go girl and be HAPPY :)

I think that depends on who will be your boyfriend, how would you two get along with each other. there are instances in a relationship that you will both have to make a sacrifice and if one is not willing, it will just give you headaches. sometimes I feel having no one in your side is a good thing coz there'll be nobody who would get along your way if you have something to do. but as they say..no one is an island.lol
