I’d focus on building a good friendship network and living in a way that brings you pleasure, than focusing on not having a partner - if someone right for you comes along at some point, great, but if not, you’ll still be ok. After all, plenty of people do have partners who make them unhappy and feel more alone than when they were single! Not that I equate being single with loneliness at all, but it is a common misconception that if you’re single you’re “lonely” (because your friends, family and everyone else you know just don’t count, apparently...)
