I'm curious as to if a person can be sad or down, due to lack of a certain emotional connection. My one friend is very observant and honest, she told me that in no way I am desperate for a boyfriend. I've never had a boyfriend before and I really don't mind not having one, though apart of me does long to have one. My friend says that it seems that I need somebody, like a boyfriend, to do everything with and just share that connection. Somebody I can lean on in that certain way. Sometimes the thought of not having a boyfriend can bring me down and I wonder if maybe things in life could just be a little easier, if I did have one.
