the red and blue of me

what's really the purpose of having a significant other? aside from the obvious benefit (which is really very appealing, btw), what other important benefits do you get from having a gf/bf? having someone to talk to, listen, do activities with, make plans with and sleep with and love i guess are some of the obvious reasons. are there any other? i am personally having a hard time finding reasons for having a bf right now. I mean, you can do those things with other people like friends and family. oh whatever... it's late...
