than to not be alone, and to desperately wish that you were. There is nothing worse than being in a relationship you wish to be out of. It is far, FAR better to sometimes be wistful about one's solitude.

Never settle. If the right person comes along, bonus. If not, always remember that being partnered does not mean you will not be lonely. Far too many people lead lives of great loneliness inside their marriages.
