My life is worth is living and I don't have a boyfriend, so I would think the same idea should apply to you. Trust me, I know how sh*tty it feels especially since all my friends have their girlfriend/boyfriend (or friend with benefits). I know that void. It's painful and sh*tty and tags at me constantly. No matter how good of a day I could have, at the end of the day, I still think about how I don't have a relationship.
But ya know what, I (and you) still gotta keep moving because if we focus on it too much, we will definitely not find anyone. I know it's hard but that's all we can do because the rest is up to the other person (when they come around). Besides, you probably have friends and family members who really care about you, don't slap them in the face by even considering that your life is useless because of this.
I know it's hard and I know it sucks especially when passing by couples hugging and kissing and all that junk but I'm holding on and you should too. Just go about your day anyway and maybe someone will come your way. Someone who would be worth the wait and misery.

I agree with LenaLove, you should be happy on your own first so you don't have to depend on another individual to make you happy all the time, because it'll probably be a draining relationship. Also, I think life is always worth living! Well, I would hope so. You're only going to get out of life what you make it, so I think you should find things to do that make you happy so that you'll have a life that when you look back on it, it'll be fulfilling one.
Sure, a girlfriend may seem like the best option if you're lonely or whatever, but it won't solve all your problems. Relationships take work, it's not just going to be a happy thing all the time, sadly :/
There are a bunch of stuff you can do to "fill the void!" Like some of your favorite hobbies, hang out with friends, etc. Good luck (: if you want a happy life, go make it happen!
Having a girlfriend may not necessarily fill the void, either. You need to be happy on your own first, or any relationship you have is just going to act like a bandaid that temporarily hides the problem, but doesn't fix it. Hopefully that makes sense.
My mother's good friend never married. Sure, life is bittersweet, but if you focus on what you DON'T have, you'll never find what you WANT.
If you truly do feel like your picture shows, man, I hope you can find the things in your life that you do appreciate the most. Some of your previous questions have me concerned about you.
Do you believe that there is a woman out there who's looking for you just as much as you're looking for her? If not, I believe it for you. Now, I can't attract her to you, only you can.
Now, one of the most famous men in the world went without a girlfriend. There are numerous books written about him. I think his name is mentioned nearly every few seconds. I think his life was worth living to him, so why can't your life be worth living now.
Revel in your singlehood. This freedom won't last forever! That's not to say that you get all crazy, but appreciate the time you have in solitude. Be grateful for those closest to you, and these will help attract to you the one you most desire.
Sure, a healthy relationship is a significant and enjoyable part of life, but by no stretch is it or should it be the be all and end all. You can't expect all life's joy to come from just being with another person for several reasons. One is people aren't perfect. You can cast this image of the person you're after being the sole source of light in your otherwise dark life, but if you get with them, the reality that there are qualities about them that you don't like will hit you that much harder. Another is the fact that you're depressed about being single may not just be a symptom of your being single. It can also be a cause, because people are attracted to people who can get by on their own more or less. Think about it, if you were the one lifeline a girl had keeping her sanity intact, how much of a burden would that be on you, and how much would you grow to feel trapped in the relationship instead of enriched by it. Sure, a relationship is a good thing to shoot for, but my point is don't make it your raison d'etre.

Hell no. Son, I feel sorry for you and your "not having a girlfriend" ways.
Life is just slow death when you sit around and do nothing. I mean, come on. EVERYONE who has a girlfriend is the shiznit, while EVERYONE who is single is just on the fast track to a lonely, painful death. Don't you see it? It's like, impossible to ever find anything positive about being single.
You are totally missing out, dude. Totally missing out on REALITY!
Stop moping around and being a pussack. How many guys have had girlfriends yet are still pieces of sh*t? If you're a piece of sh*t, a girlfriend isn't gonna fix that. Chances are, you'll be happy for 2 months, then revert to being a piece of sh*t, then she'll dump you.
THe problem isn't the girl, it's you. You won't ever see that though, being a pussack and all.I learned that relationships are usually burdened by drama and unsightly happenings, they can be so good but oh so bad... sometimes I just wonder are they ever worth the effort, of course I'd like to have someone to love and be close to but if I don't find that someday then I'm still gonna enjoy my life to the full, play my guitar everyday and have a blast with my friends. Life is seriously too short to wallow in the squalor of depression and unhappiness, I am not perfect and I have my flaws that get me down all the time but I rise above it and still enjoy myself. Having a girlfriend isn't the be all and end all of the universe, I've learned that the hard way... loosen up and enjoy your stay on planet earth because before ya know it, it could be gone in an instant.
If you look the way that your picture seems to say that you do, then I don't see why it should be so hard for you to get a girlfriend. Maybe your standards are too high?
F*** yes it is. There's more to life then just a significant other. Seriously? I have a pretty enjoyable life with it's ups and downs and I don't have a boyfriend. Maybe you should live a little and then maybe some girl will fall for you. You can't expect to attract a girl by wallowing in your self pity do you
"Nothing else seems to fill the void no matter what" - have you tried to do everything in this world?
How do you know this will fulfill you if you've never had it?
Maybe when you get a girlfriend and eventually it ends THEN you'll see how depressing it can be. I'm afraid to see how you handle THAT situation!For the 1st time, you say something which is somehow right!
but do me a favor, and take that sad picture off, because you look like your going to cry & someone is ready to punch you on your face to erase that look!Do not give up yet, I know this guy who met his wife when he was in 27. Before he met her, he was planning to live single forever.
He is a very happy guy now and he has really cute kidsyou're talking about the past, dude.
let's talk about the future. Just because some men have never had a Girlfriend (like me and, probably, you) doesn't mean we will never have one.
we need to look into bars, libraries, Starbucks, malls, etc. to find the girls we want.
get what I'm sayin'? so yes, life is still worth living.Yes. There are people you can have fun with and enjoy life with that aren't girlfriends. They're called friends. If you require sexual activity to make people worth being around, then you're a misanthrope and should become a hermit immediately.
Also, it's spelled intimate.Yes it's worth being alive. Keep looking for that girl who cares about you. She's out there, you just got to find her first.
i agree with LenaLove. and don't give up on finding a girlfriend. what makes you think you will never have one?
yes,life doesn't always have to be about relationships,but how you try to find other ways to enjoy life and be happy to the simplest.It really depends on how valuable your life is and how important having a girlfriend is to you.
Yeah! It's lovely to have a partner but your happiness shouldn't depend on her.
so you'd commit suicide if you didn't have a gf... amazing.
You know what would solve your issue? Getting a girlfriend.
It means you can focus on doing the things that are more important to humanity.
I care about you and I'm here for you.
dude of course it is.. life is about living for you, self fulfillment and self achievement
it's supposed to be worth living if you are a guy, but it's not worth living if you are a girl who has never had a boyfriend, girls are allowed to want or need a boyfriend to validate their existence, but not the other way around for guys
Some relationships are really awful- u'll be happy when you realize how great it is being single, you can do whatever you want!
