I think having a girlfriend is a worthwhile experience in all. For me - my boyfriend is someone who knows me better than any friend, knows my feelings knows my reactions knows what I'm going to say most of the time. He's someone I know I can always do stuff with, go out with and its different that a friend in that you kiss, you get orgasms from, you even get a hug when you've had the shittest day ever.
Plus when you first get together you will get a feeling thats incomparable to anything. Theres nothing better than the feeling of intense excitement when you first start off a relationship.. you feel like you're going to have a heart attack everytime their name appears on your phone, even their name sounds like something magical. You should definitely get a girlfriend at some point anyway.. you're missing out big time otherwise. Just sayin..
