I never thought it very healthy how so many people make finding a SO a priority. Many of them hoping from one relationship to the next.
I have spent most of my life single. Being in a relationship was an exception I enter in reluctantly with women I fall meaningfully and deeply in love with in a mutually enriching and rewarding way.
I think many people just aren't happy alone and that is a failing we are all best to overcome if we can.

@freemo I find people with problems start looking for relationships in order to have something to rely on and to drive away their sadness. That is valid in a way, but I also find that the ones that look at relationships as a way of escapism instead of mutual growth very rarely get over their issues.
