Seriously - fly solo for long enough, and you start to find reasons to keep things that way...
Is independence overrated?
Am I deluding myself?
Sex drive can be ignored, and I've got folks to talk to, so why do I worry that I'm cheating myself?

your question differs for every person. some people need their space some dont. i know 2 guys that have been alone pretty much all their life. one of them has been alone for about 60 years and he is pretty reclusive, the other one has been alone for about 40 years but he is pretty outgoing. both of them lack some social skills that i have already have (im 15). if your worryed about a wife start looking but dont be desparte. as far as i can tell its fine when your young and "tough" but as you get older you start wanting somone to lean on. but that is just a personal opinion. i think that i will just have to be rich so i can rub it in peoples faces (especially women that have broke my heart) anyway its up to you

I think some people can handle it better than others. Some naturally like to be alone, and find that they can be alone and not mind at all. You might be one of those people. There are also people who cannot stand being without another person in their life. I'm a little bit of both, which is why I like being in a relationship. If I want to be left alone, I can just tell him so and he'll go away, but when I want him with me, I can just call him right back.
So, in conclusion, do whatever works. Just make sure this alone-ness doesn't mean giving into bad habits (as can sometimes happen when someone doesn't have someone else there to kick their a**). If you meet someone and you hit it off, great. If you fly solo and find that you like it better, that's okay too.

I have a friend who has been alone for the past 15 years or more. He has lots of friends and can ignore sex drive (or find porn), but he has grown fat, lazy, and unambitious. I'm not saying that someone has to be in a relationship or attached to another person to feel whole and happy, but I do believe that there is something about sharing your hopes and dreams, your love, and your life, that makes you want to be a better person. The relationship that you get from friends and family just isn't the same, you can't get to that level of intimacy (not sex) with your friends and family. I don't know that it would be permanently damaging, but I don't think it's healthy for long term.

no there is nothing wrong with preserving your sanity, my friend,
you don't need love to have an orgasm or sex for that matter, and the one thing in this world that makes no sense, is love, which can permanently scar your psyche,
