I couldn't, and I feel it is a weakness. Then again, not much I can do about it, but it'd be bad-ass if one could truly reach happiness without a soulmate.

Personally, I think that someone shouldn't pursue a relationship until that's the case. It's not exactly a good state to be in where your happiness is entirely dependent on the whims and the presence of another person.

Not at all. Now I have no desire to ever be married again should anything ever happen to my wife, but even 5 day business trips make me miserable and want to come home.

I couldn't have said it any better than myself. As cliche as it might sound, how can you begin to make someone else happy when you can't make yourself happy.

I'm not happy in general. I don't think being single has anything to do with it, but if I never have a girlfriend, I don't think it'll bother me.

The question was, "Could you live happily as a single person for the rest of your life?". If the answer to that question is "no", then that means that you are unable to be happy without being in a relationship with another person. That is exactly the state that leads to people being excessively clingy and possessive of their significant other, which only leads to trouble down the road once the honeymoon period is over.

So relationships don't bring you extra happiness?

If you can get laid when you want, perfect. But when you get old, you most probably would want a chick.

Most certainly, I actually plan to. The whole being with another person for the rest of my life thing doesn't appeal to me, I'm much happier being alone.

I could, you could, anyone could. You would feel happy some of the time, and angry/sad/frustrated at other times, just like in a relationship

Tell Liz I said hi, mkay? Anyhow... I tend to avoid contact with other humans frequently. The last thing I'd want to do is spend my entire pathetic life with someone else.

Personally, I think that someone shouldn't pursue a relationship until that's the case. It's not exactly a good state to be in where your happiness is entirely dependent on the whims and the presence of another person.
