I slightly object to you generally referring to such relationships as being 'useless'. Yes, it is wrong to engage oneself in a relationship outside marriage, but some relationships are genuine. It might not have worked out for you but that doesn't necessarily mean to say all such relationships are fakes and will not work out.
Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) is reported to have said (paraphrased): the best thing for two people who love each other, is marriage .

A year ago I made a mistake. A big mistake which weirdly I don't regret but I also do. I regret it because I went against the teachings of Islam and was quite close to a guy. We weren't a couple but just really close, near enough to a couple. So, anyways, that's why I do regret it but the reason I don't is because it taught me a lesson. A lesson never to be forgotten. It made me realise how useless relationships before marriage are and how it completely shatters you. If you're a sensitive person like I am and you have been through what I have been through then you'll know what I mean.
The reason I'm writing this is because I don't want my Muslim brothers and sisters to become as heartbroken as I am/was. Relationships before marriage are a waste of time, there is no importance because your relationship isn't going to successful because you're doing it the haram way. If your like me, you'll remember this guy your whole life because he scarred you real bad, he said things that touched your heart and you know that one day it's all going to be a memory and you're going to reminisce and burst out into tears.
So why do people have relationships? There are loads of reasons, having someone to talk to and be there for you - well why has Allah blessed us with friends? Getting cheap presents on Valentines Day - firstly Valentines Day is not an Islamic celebration, and again why need a boyfriend to give you presents when you've got friends to? Peer pressure - Well I'm sorry but if you're friends are encouraging you to get a man then obviously they're not good Islamic friends are they now?
There are millions other silly reasons which people come up with but trust me, in the end you'll gain nothing but memories and you'll end up heartbroken.
So think now, what is the benefit of having a guy in your life? Don't think about today, but think about tomorrow, what are you going to answer when Allah asks you why you did it? What will you say to your creator? That you're sorry and it was due to blah blah blah? Nah, it won't work trust me, think now, and stop brothers and sisters. Fear Allah.
I am saying this from my own experience, and I would hate, I mean HATE it if someone goes through what I been/going through but InshahAllah we'll get through.
