Whats the point of intimate relationships...?

What is the ultimate point of them? to be happy? what exactly does being with someone in that manner bring you? and why are they so important to people?

I'm a 20 year old guy, and it seems I should be very concerned with getting a girlfriend because all other guys my age are. But when I think about it, and I imagine a girl be interested in me, the first thing I think is "What does she want?" "what am I supposed to do now?"

So my question is, are intimate relationships philosophically pointless? or do I just fail to understand them?
