Then you should just happily stay single for life, since there's no reason to make any effort to change that situation. Obviously, most people don't abide by that rule, or our species would be long extinct.
There is a big different between being desperate/depressed for being single, and live with it in a peaceful manner. This wouldn't even exclude falling in love with someone and trying to be with her in the future, which of course is much better than trying with everyone until you get one who likes you (if she exists). One should learn to be ok while being single too and not put his happiness on it.
Girls can smell if you are desperate/depressed for being alone, so it won't help you anyway.
Moreover, being in a relationship doesn't mean anything and it's not the heaven some people imagine, things can go bad and even if it goes well she can just change her mind one day and dump you, because people do it all the time. With this I don't mean that relationships must be avoided for fear of such things, I just want to point out that it's not like being in heaven (for some couples it's the case, but they are not many).
P.S.: You know, they use that species extinction argument against gay people too, lol. Most people are not like me or the OP, so my words refer to a little group of people, not all humanity.
