Actually, I was not really trying to emphasize that living on one's own was part of what is required to find a guy/male partner or any partner. It's more about "self" and learning about "self" first.

My daughter is around the same age as you and she "did" live on her own for a while and still does actually and I have heard her telling others that looking back it was "important' for her own development. It's hard to find a good match, my daughter has not found "Mr. Right" yet either. She was in a toxic relationship for too long and because she did know she could live on her own she was able to leave. She continues to establish "self" and that has helped a lot and she has found that what she wants has changed a lot because she has grown a lot too.

You love the arts, what about taking some classes where you might meet someone who is also into the arts?
