I was single the first 20, almost 21 years of my life, and then I went through two poor choices for girlfriends... and now, after almost entirely losing hope I found someone that seems like someone I could be with forever.

If you want to seriously consider living alone for the rest of your life, there are many things to consider. I worry with you that you're doing it out of spite or fear... I suggest against limiting yourself. Plenty of people live normal single lives, but if people ask you "why don't you have a girlfriend?" and your response is "because I'm a disillusioned bitter ascetic man" you might get some weird looks.

I always plug Albert Camus, but I think I'm very justified in doing it now. He writes a lot about solitude, esp. in his journals. You might check them out, it really helped me put some things in perspective.
