Now, if I was single, I don't think I'd be out there looking. I like myself, I like being with myself, heck, I'm a fun person to hang out with. ;) I wouldn't want a relationship just so I can say I'm in a relationship. That's not my style, never has been.
I met my hubby at 19. We clicked and we've never stopped clicking. If he died tomorrow (heaven forbid!) then yes, I'd feel like a part of my soul was torn out of me, not because of the lack of a physical presence in my life, but for the lack of him, his humor, his love, his acceptance, just...him. I'd miss him every day of my life, but I'd go on.
I don't think you need a "significant other" in your life if you yourself are significant.
Just my two cents. If it makes sense. ;)
