Yes I do actually. I know it sounds sad, and over the years I’ve learnt to cope with solitude, and even cherish the freedom it brings, but overall I’d rather be in a relationship than alone. And this also means that when I am in a relationship, I’m quite content, and put up with a lot of things because I realise how important it is. Unfortunately I haven’t been lucky overall. Even though I have had some quite good relationships in the past, most of which ended in a friendly and civilised manner, I have probably spent more time alone than with a girlfriend.
I broke up with my last girlfriend due to distance. I was forced to move to a different country and neither of us has the choice of moving somewhere else now. She has found someone new anyway. I tried to also find someone, but it’s pretty hard where I live and so I only managed to go out on one date, which did not lead to much.
Besides, I’m currently so busy worrying about my daughter and trying to save her from her troubles, that I don’t think I’d make a good boyfriend right now. Whoever decides to come close to me will have to be very patient.

And since I guess your question is really whether you need a girl and not I, the answer is again “yes, you do”. We all need a balance in our lives, and it’s great to spend some time alone from time to time, and collect your thoughts, and relax and be yourself. But you also need friends. And family. And a few special “best friends” that you can trust. And that special someone to be in love with and share things you can’t even share with your best friends. And yes, sex too.
