Although it's nice to have someone who comforts you and treats you well, at the same time, relationships are really tough. Not only do they require patience and understanding, but they also require commitment and time. Sometimes, it's easier to have chocolate and be care-free than to have a boyfriend. Here are 11 reasons why having chocolate is better than having a boyfriend.

1. It costs a lot less than having a boyfriend.

With the costs of birthday presents, Valentine's Day gifts and holiday gifts, having a boyfriend costs a lot more than simply going to the grocery store to buy a box of chocolate. Not only will you be happy because you have chocolate, but your bank account will also thank you.

2. It's always there for you no matter what.

Regardless of the time of day, chocolate will always be there for you, and chocolate will always help you.

3. Your parents already approve of chocolate.

Unlike a boyfriend, you don't have to go through the awkwardness of introducing your parents to chocolate and hoping they'll approve of it, because who doesn't approve of chocolate?

4. It alway makes you happy.

After all, a chocolate bar a day might not keep the doctor away, but it'll definitely keep the sadness away.

5. Chocolate comes in all shapes and sizes.

From caramel to milk to dark chocolate, you'll always have a variety of chocolates and as a result, you'll never get bored of having the same kind of chocolate.

6. All of your friends understand what you see in it.

You won't have to listen to your friends repeatedly question what you see in chocolate because they'll understand; everyone would understand.

7. All chocolate is rich.

You won't have to worry about marrying rich because chocolate's already rich.

8. Chocolate may make you fat, but it won't get you pregnant.

And plus, chocolate's easier to take care of than a baby.

9. You don't need to look nice for chocolate; chocolate will accept you no matter what.

Chocolate isn't judgemental and doesn't have high expectations. Chocolate will understand if you're in sweatpants and not wearing makeup.

10. Chocolate will never make you cry.

Unless it's tears of happiness, of course.

11. Chocolate's too smooth for cheesy pick-up lines.

You won't have to deal with another cheesy pick-up line again.
