No at least not for those reasons...you should be happy with you and your own life should be worthwhile to you first....and then you choose to share it with someone....
I feel it depends on the person. I'm okay with being alone / not in a relationship with a significant other - but, I know I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. In my opinion, everything is just better when shared with a loving partner.

I couldn't have said it better myself, Hugz! That was perfect!
When we open our hearts and live from our heart, we honor others with the respect that comes from acknowledging their right to be. We impose no condition or restriction on the way they live or how they relate to us. By being open and feeling love towards all people, we create a space for communication and connection rather than confronting others with doubt, fear, prejudice, ignorance, and creating barriers that force people and communities apart.
Love is everywhere. It's in the supermarket as we stand in line with those too tired or too stressed to be polite, and we help them with their load. It's in the traffic jam when someone starts honking their horn out of frustration and impatience, and we let them cut in front of us because there's no kindness in making them even more stressed than they already are. It's in the workplace where people gossip and backbite and we understand the pain and unhappiness they must be feeling to act in such a way.
Love allows us the freedom to treat others with kindness and compassion.
And in these difficult times, love conquers fear and mistrust, and gives us courage. Knowing in our heart that we act and speak with love will dissolve all prejudice and suspicion. How can we truly fear anyone whom welove, and how can we be afraid of standing up for principles of justice and rights when we're guided by the clear, inner voice of truth?
We have the capacity to show others quite how powerful the energy of love can be.
What I meant to add to my post was...nobody can make you happy or make you feel like your life is worthwhile....the only one who can do that is you.....they can add to it...but they can't do it for you!!!!!!!

Yup true.
Thankyou ALL ..
hmm what i am trying to say is often i feel people risk everything be it financially , emotionally , comfort of their own place ( where they live ) .. to find love or be with the other person.
Now i do understand compromising and working to find and keep that special person. But it is not the only or say most important purpose we have in life as people. There ought to be a higher purpose which differs for each person as the reason we live.

Where theres love theres purpose and with the love of another we can accomplish anything. JMO

I agree...it certainly shouldn't turn into your main goal in life and making sacrifices for love should be about choice to add someone to your life...not need...just because you don't want to be alone....
Yes yes yes yes yes on all levels we were meant to love others romantically and in general and to connect on intimate levels both physically, spiritually, intellectually and emotionally. That is the only thing that's make sense to this existence. All the other is dross.

.....some people end up better off alone, but tbh everyone deep down inside wants a significant other.

lucky200761: .....some people end up better off alone, but tbh everyone deep down inside wants a significant other.
True, some people do end up better off alone. However, I do in fact know of a few people who are perfectly happy being alone and not in a relationship, deep down. I prefer to have a partner, personally ... though I manage without one okay, too.
Not many people are ready to dedicate themselves entire to work a relationship. It needs to be nurtured just like a sapling to grow. But the subconscious awareness of the availability of " options " makes a person lax in one way or the other and things wither.
So .. I do think to love and be loved is important but the purpose of our life IMO is not just that. But a relationship that enable you to grow together even spiritually is the kind of relationship to die for.
Dknew: I think without being able to love or have someone love you makes life pointless.
I somewhat disagree...so what your saying is that finding a mate is what life is all about?..other than that life is pointless ....there are plenty of ways you can have love and receive love in your life; family, God, friends, etc... If that's the only way you feel you can experience love in life than that in itself is pointless and lacks value...what about the people who choose to remain celibate?
Love is an intangible gift surpassing all other gifts. It cannot be taken in any way and only has value when given away without conditions. It can not be held in any way that is not detrimental to its absolute ideal except in memory and in Faith. Happiness is not something we can receive from others, we can share their own happiness but to have our own comes only from within. A helping hand can hold you up but you must stand on your own. For life to be worthwhile we have to understand what life is and that is an individual journey that will take all of our earthly days. Life is not in the knowing but in the accepting and living to its fullest. To best experience life, Love and Happiness all we have really to do is share and give it away as often as possible. Our society has befuddled the conceptuality of worth. We have been fooled into believing that our true measure is in what we as individuals have. Not only in a physical sense but more perversely in an abstract way. Our true worth is in reality what we have to give. No matter how giving one is, if they only seek to pass on the physical remnants and achievements they will eventually run out of offerings. To give of your heart in all ways allows others to see the examples of happiness, Love and of course the grand wonderment of life. And in doing so is really the only way to have any sort of inner peace and completion of merit. Life is contagious and we would do best by our fellow man and ourselves by ensuring that the epidemics we nurture and pass on are the ones that provide examples for those in our lives to best share what they likewise are. Love your life and you will be happy.

I think so too . Love comes in various forms thro different people in our life.
But a persons life per se neednt be revolved or focussed around that relationship. We all have a purpose in life either known to us or not yet known or maybe something of our own ( if one doesnt believe in god ) apart form all this.
