what is the point of being in a relationship with someone? having a boyfriend or girlfriend, marriage, whatever.
I went around asking a handful of my friends that very question, and the majority of the answers were “i dont know”. why even date if theres no point to it?
A few people stated they think the possible reason for being in relationship with anyone is to find out what you like and dont like in a person and then proceed to get to know them better (that also in a way defines friendship). One person suggested that being in a relastionship is finding someone who knows you on a different level and can eventually replaces your parents, sorta. So basically a suport system on all levels.
I asked another somebody and they acted against me as if the question was ridiculus and told me that I know the answer and continued on their merry little way.
Most of the people that I asked the question to were male, not that that really had anythign to do with the responses because I got the same answers from both male and female
An older friend of mine said that having a relationship fills a natrual need of companionship.
The support thing continues to be brought up by multiple people. But if one thinks about it, that goes along with almost any type of relationship as long as the people get along, a family (usually) supports one another, friends support friends in times of troubles, a never ending circle of support.
Im not really sure what I’m getting at here.. I just wana know. I mean, I know that in order for a species to survive there has to be mating involved and usually the mate is chosen, whether consciously or not, based on physical appearance, health (present and family), strength of the individuals (to suport themselves and/or the family to be), and a buncha other crap to ensure the survial.
aside from that, no one really knows. in fact, they dont even know that much.
everyone always wants to get into a relationship and then when they finally get into one its not even all that great apparently because it more than likely ends for one reason or another. Im not very experienced in the relationship department being that i have only had 3 total relationships, none of which lasted over 2 months (well besides the current, yay) but i duno. I asked my boyfriend what he thought was the point and he told me the same thing, I dont know. So, if no one knows, why even get into a relationship to begin with? why even bother? In a way I see it as a waste of time because its pointless to do something when you have no idea why or what the outcome might possibly be. But I am in the situation myself. Im not really sure why I am or why I even continue with it, cept for the fact that I like it for some reason or another. Not the best relationship in the world but somehow its working. Maybe because its somewhat of a challenge that I like it? I liked being without relationship but theres something about a relationship that kinda draws you in. its like i dont know how to explain it.. its strange..
