Enjoy being single, and don’t treat it as just a waiting period for a relationship. Far too many people see relationships as the ultimate goal, but pursuing one takes a lot of time and effort. It’s easier to stay single—no endless hours on dating apps or money wasted on first dates. For many, dating feels like a chore, and they’re not always willing to sacrifice their comfort. Still, organic connections do happen, and those who put in the effort usually find someone.
Men and women are single at about the same rate, and they’re just as happy overall. When I’ve been desperate for connection, I never met anyone worthwhile, but when I relaxed and enjoyed my life, meaningful connections followed. Your single life isn’t just a warm-up for a relationship; it’s your life right now, so enjoy it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for a relationship—being open to connections is important, and missing out on potential partners because you’re not looking isn’t ideal.
While friends can fill some of the need for companionship, they’ll eventually have their own families. Find something or someone to commit to, maintain your standards, and focus on self-improvement. You don’t need to be rich, just reach your potential, and the right person will find you.
It’s perfectly natural to want a partner. Being single and career-focused is a legitimate lifestyle, but it’s not the majority choice, so there are plenty of people out there who want to date. Don’t worry about those who don’t—focus on those who do.
I’ve realized that honesty about what’s important to me, like sexual satisfaction, makes dating easier. Financial stability is great, but real companionship matters more. If you keep getting bad matches, change your approach or where you’re looking.
If you want a specific type of partner, go where those people are. But do it because you enjoy it, not just for dating. Natural, face-to-face meetings often provide the strongest foundation for a relationship.
As for first dates, I love bowling—there’s no pressure for anything beyond fun. If things progress, great; if not, I’ve still had a good time. Most of my significant relationships came from organic interactions, not apps. Relationships require presence, willingness, and availability. If you want one, you’ve got to show up and be among like-minded people.
