Living life alone IS hard and sad, and most of us do long for romantic companionship. And I agree that sometimes, all that’s wrong is that you’re lonely. I don’t, however, think that’s the majority of cases.

Why? Because people who are emotionally secure, socially interested, and intellectually involved are in a perfect position to find a partner (much like you did, in fact!) This post is not written for people who are just in the normal transitory state between growing up and finding a partner. This post is intended for people for whom relationships do not come, or do not work.
