In a way yes because you want someone to love you and someone to think of as a partner and a bestfriend and someone to open up to...But in a way no because sometimes they bring to much drama into your life and hold you back....But its not a neccessity...sometimes us girls can do much better off without guys

Having a boyfriend is NOT as important as you think.....yeah, having one does has it's benefits, the main one being SEX! That's all they're good for anyway (and some of them aren't even that good-haha j/k)......and sometimes it sucks being lonely too so it's good to have a guy around that you can cuddle with because there's just those times when your friends and family just aren't enough and can't cure the urges you have. The only thing with having a boyfriend is that you need to devote most of your time to your relationship, and if you're going somewhere or doing something you have to let your man know but if you're single then you answer to no one and are FREE to do WHATEVER YOU WANT.....but not having a boyfriend is NOT the end of the world....you'll find one when least expect it, so don't go looking for one, just let it happen! Good Luck!

My knee-jerk reaction would just be to say "no" but it's not as cut and dry as that. It depends on the situation...
Is having a boyfriend important when going on a doubles date? Well yes.
Is having a boyfriend the most important thing in the world and should I spend my whole life pursuing one and feel worthless without one? NO.
In general having a relationship (with friends, family, a boyfriend) I think IS important, but there's plenty of other important things besides just approval from a boyfriend.

If you mean have a boyfriend just for the sake of having a boyfriend -- a boy, any boy -- not only is it not important, but it's a really BAD thing to do.
Girls who feel they HAVE to have a boyfriend end up really mangled, because they hook up with the wrong guys, over and over and over again. (Some eventually wise up.)
No one NEEDS to always be in a relationship.
In fact, it's a good idea to NOT have a romantic relationship messing with your head all the time.
That way, you have time to get over the last one, and to gain a little perspective.
And to realize that you don't NEED someone in your life; that you can be happy without.
It's not until that point that most people are able to get into really good relationships.
In short, I think a lot of people underestimate the importance of NOT having a boyfriend (or girlfriend, for that matter).

Not for me, I'm a man, have a wife (34 years)
I don't think that it is important for a girl to have a
boyfriend, I think that all of you girls know that most
boys are just looking to add notches to their crotches
and that once they score they bail out on you.
Don't allow yourself to be played like a fiddle, I have 3
daughters and I always tell them that when the guys says
Well if you loved me you would (do the wild monkey dance)
So I tell them to reply;
If you really loved me you wouldn't ask me to do this
At some point, all of you young ladies will meet a man that
is worth spending the rest of your life on, but for now
enjoy your youth, don't get into a situation where you
can not have fun like everyone else because you have
to stay home and take care of the baby.

It's not really important and you can get a long fine without a boyfriend, but it can be enjoyable to have a boyfriend. It's nice to have someone that you really like to spend time with.

No, not at all. Being happy is important, but only you (each individual) can choose that for yourself and provide it to you.
People who feel they must have a boyfriend or girlfriend are needy...and that's not an admirable quality.
When someone is completely happy with their life, as a single, and doing what they enjoy is when they'll be in a place to be a good partner for someone else...
Until you can be happy on your own...dating should wait.

What's important is that you are happy. It takes more than a boyfriend to make anyone happy. And plenty of us have been very happy without a boyfriend.

No, there are much more important things in life.

Hell no us woman can do just fine without a man, but life is so much interesting with a man, and not half as lonely, if you have the right man.
