I've been quite alone for a couple of years and quite happy. I get plenty of weird questions about it, but who cares? Being alone isn't for everybody. But not everybody needs somebody. When people ask you why you are alone, you should be able to tell them the truth, and it should be "because you are happy that way". If thats not the truth, then you do need to be with somebody. You'll always get weird looks about being alone because most people are terrified of being alone. Just when you get comfortable with being alone you'll probably find somebody anyway. But like others have said, don't plan your life around a phantom woman who you've never met. Go enjoy the freedom you have. The only person you have to please is yourself. That can be very empowering.
