Being Single A Curse?

Everywhere you look, it seems as though people are hooking up left & right. Someone is always trying to find Mr(s.) Right. Humans were made for relationships, I get that. What about taking pride in being single? Last time I checked, before you get into a relationship, you have to learn how to be alone. Being alone allows you to do the work in order to get ready for Mr(s.) Right. There's nothing worse than finding THE ONE and you're not up to snuff. Some people frown upon pre-screening, and say you're making someone jump through hoops. It's not that, it's so you won't waste your & the other person's time. In two dates or less, you should be able to figure out if the person is right for you or not. Not everyone is meant to be together; some people are better off friends. Singles should not allow others to make them feel bad about their marital status. Remember, singles have more of an advantage than married couples: Singles aren't accountable to another person, which leaves them more room to devote to their ambition, personal growth, etc. Singles don't have to deal with another's garbage, and depending on the nature of a person's calling; a relationship may not work for them. Some people are comical to me. Why are you alone? You're a nice guy who's doing well for himself, you need a woman to share your life with, etc. I'm all for finding the right woman, but she's going through a pre-screening process (I expect the same from her): Start off as friends. How we do as friends will determine if we have a future together. If more people pre-screened their mates, divorce would be non-existent. Pre-screening is too much like taking your time; you're desperate to have someone in your life that you'll settle for anything with a pulse. If you can't be happy alone, how do you expect to be happy with someone else?
