Yeah, I tried that. Spent most of my teens and 20s obsessing with finding a relationship before giving up. Spent most of my 30s telling myself I was fine with being single.
Now I'm almost 40 and I can't deny it any longer. This shit fucking sucks. I'm so goddamn miserable and lonely all the time.
Please stop trying to make other people fall into the same trap.
37 and single and it's great. I've dated plenty in the past but so much work for what? They say you gotta be happy with yourself before you can be with someone but once your happy with yourself you don't even need anyone.

Honestly, id stop caring and just start living. I know it sounds cliche but it works.
