I agree with that. I have tried for years to find somebody to love again, but have not found somebody to build a longtime relationship with (I mean who shares my values and who is agreeable enough to take his share of responsibility in the home). I am glad I never said yes to something that could not work in the long run. Yes, it can be hard to be alone sometimes, but better than to live in a relationship that turns out to not be a good fit.
To fall in love is a wonderful experience, as long as it lasts, but life goes well without that feeling too. When one lives alone, it is important to develop interests that make the singel life OK.
