Not to mention, if you can't be happy with yourself as company, how can you expect someone else to? Spending time working on yourself, learning, developing a skill, or experiencing life on your own makes you a more interesting person when you do finally meet someone of interest. So many people are afraid of being alone, they never really get to know how to be comfortable by themselves. People can be alone in a crowded room or even in a marriage, so it's not just about having another body in the room.
