“No, I don’t think you’re gonna be single forever, and also I don’t understand your obsession with romantic love. There are other ways to have fulfilling relationships that can sustain you and make your life great and fun, other than having a sexualised relationship. It’s not the only kind of fulfilling human interaction. So, even if you are single forever, that doesn’t mean that you’ve had some kind of failed life.” -John Green

Or you're just one of those 60 year old guys you see on Speed Channel on Saturday morning working on their small block Chevys....

I've got a quote that I feel is share worthy!! Not sure if it's about relationships, but I know it's definitely about love. I actually find it to be so true!
"Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made." -Kristen Stewart

Everyone finds true love in the end, just at the least expected time

I agree that I could still be happy, although I do feel I'd be missing out on a big part of life without a romantic relationship. But it's obviously a lot more complicated than a black-and-white matter of being happy or unhappy in life, as there are shades of happiness.

Sounds like making excuses.

I agree, it does seem like an excuse for people who have given up on relationships and become bitter and jaded towards the idea of dating or finding love. I think every person craves to be accepted and valued for their creativity in one way or another, even if that creativity is in the identity they create for themselves.
