well its a tough question to answer.depends on the level of your comfort.if you are comfortable sharing your feelings with a girl friend,you should have one.and if you aren't comfortable then you shouldn't.i don't feel all girlfriends are like diseases.there are exceptions too.some girl friends are a real understander and they guide you through tough situations.stand by you in difficult time.so you should never generalize this quote.absolutex said::kiss: Guys, you must have noticed those t-shirts on which you can read -"Girlfriends are diseases!" Or so. But what do you think having a GF is better or being alone is? Please reply.
