i've always felt that i needed to achieve independence and become happy with myself before i ever brought someone else into my life. being fully dependent on others, in regards to romance, seems very unhealthy to me. i've seen a number of my friends get trapped into relationships because they needed to be with someone, eventhough the person they were with was completely wrong for them.
obviously, this mentality works for some people... but in general i think relationships are a lot more stable and forfilling when the two people are independently happy. from what i've experienced, there is a lot less room for disappointment and misunderstandings.
