When it comes to dating and desires, I think it's good to learn to accept and come to terms with the fact one might be single for the rest of their life. It doesn't HAVE to be a bad thing per se, and since such fates are quite common now with some 50% of adult Americans currently single, it's quite likely that many are never going to find "the one". Once a person comes to term with such a reality, rather than pushing it away, they may find that they now have a more relaxed mentality that actually makes them more attractive.
