That is a very interesting thought. But, I think God always intended to make Eve. Why? Well it seems like God waited until Adam himself realized he needed more. Then he had the parade of animals to show Adam that nothing was suitable to fill that need he did not even know what it was. It is always in God's nature to surprise you both for the good and for the ill. Adam went to sleep and woke up to a greater day.
I imagine that it must have been a shocker. He nods off after eating too much food (left a bit of a mess) Wakes up and sees Eve (cleaning up the mess). Now either he looked her over and said Whoa! Man or she looked up at the messy man and said Woe Man and it kinda stuck.

No.
Apparently Jehovah God did want Adam to spend some time alone, however. The bible plainly teaches that a time alone can help one to pray and meditate and improve one's spirituality and relationship with Almighty God.
(Exodus 19:14-15) Moses went down from the mountain to the people... he said to the people: “Get ready during the three days. Do not you men come near a woman.”
(Luke 4:1-2) Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from the Jordan, and he was led about by the spirit in the wilderness for forty days
(1 Corinthians 7:5) Do not be depriving each other [of spousal companionship], except by mutual consent for an appointed time, that you may devote time to prayer and may come together again

Adam and Eve were given two commandments, one to multiply and replenish the earth and the other to not eat of the fruit. The misunderstanding is that they could not have multiplied without eating of the fruit. Therefore it was hard to choose, but they chose to have kids, so had to eat of the fruit. when they did, we became fallen, meaning we were no longer perfect or worthy to be in the presence of our heavenly father. Thus, we have a Savior! It was not intended that Adam be single, for we all needed to come here to learn and understand, and would not have been given that opportunity if they had not chosen to eat of the fruit and obey the commandment to multiply!

He created animals after that sentence but they were not suitable companions so then he created women. God's creative work was not complete until he made women. He could have made her from the dust of the ground, as he made man. God chose, however, to make her from the man's flesh and bone. In doing so, he illustrated for us that in marriage man and woman symbolically are united into one.

Nope
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,
Can't do that by being single.

no, because man was lonely. The lord said he needed a partner, and a friend. therefore he took a rib from adam and created woman.

No. In fact, if you read at the bible in hebrew, you will notice discrepancies that have led studious people to believe Adam had other partners before Eve(One of them being the famous Lillith)
For example, if you will notice... First it says something along the lines of "God created them in his image, male and female he created them..."
But then it talks about Adam being alone.

Adam and Eve is a metaphor. Literal interpretation of the Bible will cause much confusion.

But GOD did intend that Adam FOLLOW the rules
Not sure why, however.
