Life would cetainly be happier and complete with a girlfriend, but honestly not trying to get married and not wanting children.Just chemistry mutual love, the time to share together, visiting interesting places, cook together, shop, create happy memories, and to have an honest, fun times, and wonderful together outside moments of intimacy on.

A good relationship is basd on the same deal. I can not buy gifts or things for a GF only, but expect about the same in return in time. Otherwise not a good relationship that will last.

Also, I do not date any girl who smokes, has a bad attitude, a bad ego and bad temper.But someone who is down to earth, enjoying life, most of the time often react to unforeseen events in life and be spontaneous and react spontaneously to the good times happy.
