Mutual infatuation is one of the best things we can experience. The sex is epic, far better than one night stands or even friends with benefits.
You let down your guard and give yourselves completely to each other.
Aside from the sex, I love having a female as my best friend to share experiences, go places, do things, hang out and converse with. I think women are adorable. I want one in my life.
I can't speak for others, but it seems like some people enjoy being lone wolves. I imagine their lives being lonely and meaningless when they get old. I know people like that.
And some people are incapable of imagining a relationship outside of a marriage contract because they have sexual hang ups. They want all or nothing.
Both types of people have a desire for love and acceptance, but they don't know how to love or accept someone else. Their egos, self absorption, fear of intimacy, fear of pain and disappointment, and/or compulsion to be in control, prevent them from having close friends and romance. They may be selfish and see relationships as transactional.
I see relationships as potential stepping stones to total commitment - love, bonding, sharing, mutual regard, respect and admiration. Being in a relationship is how you get to know each other well enough to decide if you are cut out to spend the rest of your lives together. But even if a relationship doesn't end in marriage, it was still really, really fun. You learn from the experience and have treasured memories.

because they don't want to be alone and don't want to feel lonely.
because they feel pressured by other people who keeps asking they if they're in a relationship and why not?
tbh, some people who are obsessed to be in relationships are the ones that have low self esteem and tend to be in bad relationships because they just want to be with someone fast. some of them even change bfs or gfs fast. as soon as someone likes them, they get attached too easily no wonder there are relationships that turn sour asap. this is just my observation from other people i know.
i have always been picky because i don't like a man easily.
had 1 ex boyfriend only back in uni and a boyfriend now for 3 years. i focused on my studies more first and on myself after my 1st ex boyfriend. that's why i didn't get a hs boyfriend also because i wanted to focus on my studies. my uni boyfriend before was when i was 21yrs old. i didn't let people pressure me to have a boyfriend. i stood my ground, opinions. people that i know that were in a hurry to get bfs/gfs like during hs, tend to get pregnant/had someone pregnant and now they're not happy with their situation.
Companionship, acceptance, understanding, love. It's nice having someone care about how you are.

I can only speak for myself.
If you've ever been in love and lived with a partner before, it's very fulfilling. After having everything a relationship has to offer, I have a need to have that again, but even better next time.
1. Relationships are addictive one you've been in one. Emotional support, a loving cocoon, together you can be stronger.
2. Loneliness is a very strong driver.
3. They feel the need to move on with their life, pair up, make babies, be more then just one.
Obsessed? Desperately not wanting to be alone?
It’s healthy to be in a loving/happy/healthy relationship. It balances out life with love, connections and joy. ❤️They think it gives them added value. Relationships are synergistic when two people are right for eachother and the relationship is healthy. But that doesn't make the two individuals anymore valuable. It's what they forge together that does. Being with someone because you think they add to your value is the worst reason to be with someone.
Love is a beautiful thing when it has a good reason behind it.
Some people don't like being alone, society pressures etc.
They're brainwashed into thinking they need one.
I just need a good blow job and a quickie, then let me go do my own thing.
Relationships get too fuuckin boringI promise I'll take four weeks, no date, no new girls
