if you are happy to be alone that is fine. but boyfriends give you that kind of attention that a girl has been yearning for all her life. you know what you want & if you feel like that you do not need a boyfriend then just take a break from them.

Simple answer: you don't.
Longer answer: you must have a boyfriend if either of the following two conditions apply: you want regular sex from some male or you want the company and attention of a particular male and he will only continue to offer it if you have sex with him.
Unless one of these conditions apply you do not have to have a boyfriend at all. Now, I am presuming by "boyfriend" you mean at least one male that you have sex with on a regular basis. (Regular could be anything from once a day to once a week.) If you mean by "boyfriend," any male that you have sex with and he stays overnight, well, that's a different matter.
If women you know are surprised you don't have one, the answer is simple. A lot of women like sex with a guy and want to have it, and are surprised to find other women don't, thus they are surprised if a woman isn't interested in having a boyfriend. And this simple explanation applies whether they mean a regular sex partner or one-night stands that you allow to sleep over.
I am presuming that you are or would otherwise be believed to be heterosexually oriented; obviously if people think you're gay or you were the issue wouldn't come up.
Now if it's some guy who is surprised, it's probably because he finds you attractive and he'd like to be yours!

Honey if you are happy to be alone, then who cares what other people think?
I realize that you are getting a lot of pressure from friends and family to find a boyfriend, but do what you think is right, you are your own person, and that is all that matters.
When you are ready, then you will know, do not let anyone dictate who, what, when and how you should find a boyfriend!!
Follow your heart and your mind, and do not let the pressure of other people force you into a relationship.
If you spend your whole life trying to make other people happy in doing what they ask of you to do, then honey, you will not be happy!

i understand how you feel because i am in the same situation.
there are always people around me that keep asking: do you have a bf? and i always say: no!
do i have to have a bf? NO!!!! i will when i want!
in the meanwhile i am happy just like this. i am busy with my studies, i have friends to go out with and i dont feel the need of having a bf... though i have to admit from time to time i do.
but the society we live in puts a pressure; it's been always like this! i travel a lot and every time i return from my trips people ask: so, is there 'anything new' in ur life?
that makes me angry!!
you should not feel bad for not having a bf, or feel too presurred by the people around you.
just tell them you are ok like this, at least for the time being and whenever you will consider necessary you will get urself a bf.
good luck!

You don't have to. Friends are friends, and companions make getting through life much easier and more pleasant, but you aren't required to have any. But who do you talk to when you're sad? Who can you share happy things with? Friends (and eventually boyfriends) make sad times less painful, and make happy times happier. Still, we all make our own choices - try to make your choices the best you can for your reasons, not for somebody else.

You should be happy. Society and family pressures people into having relationships. I would be strong and do what feels right for you despite pressure.

you dont have to have a boyfriend.
i guess it depends on how old you are..
if you are older, then you dont have to have a boyfriend but i dont think you want to be alone the rest of your life ?
and if your young..
then just focus on school,college or work ;
worry about men later.

society makes us feel liek we need a companion to be complete. but im living testimony that if you can create your own happiness and be hapyy, then do so. You dont need a man or woman to feel complete. Complete yourself. :)
