Hmm... I agree with crazywolf. When ever guys start the whole 'who needs a girlfriend, they all are bla bla bla, Im happier single bla bla bla' the people around them are secretly thinking 'yea your only saying that cos you are single!!'.
Truth is, everyone is unique... and gender doesnt play any significant part in a persons traits or characterists.
Being single has few advantages. I know that sounds insensitive to those who are but when you have a girlfriend you like a lot or love then you have someone that you can talk to about anything, someone you can take to your family get togethers and be proud of, someone that will hug you when other people cant sense you need a hug, someone that will buy you a silly present that means more to you than a guitar yet no one else would have thought of getting you it, someone who makes you feel so happy and content with when you wake up in the morning or your bored for 5 mins as you wait on a tv show starting.
If I didnt have a girlfriend then Id be spending the day in the pub with my other pals.. playnig pool. I enjoy it, but it can get boring. Theres good weather today, and Im seeing my girl in 25mins. We are going through to Edinburgh (Edinburgh is the captial of Scotland! I live in a town nearby) and we are gona shop a bit, get some dinner, then go see a movie, then come home and snuggle up together in bed and watch 'Meet the Fockers' which she made me download for her!! :)
