It's better to be lonely than miserable, but being in a relationship with someone you love is great, and it is a lot of work (grass is always greener on the side that it watered, taken care of). Being alone, I think, is missing out on one of the great experiences in life -- apartnership to share life with. Some people prefer to be alone becuae they're set in their ways, but most people want to be with someone.

There is nothing wrong with being single. You can get a lot accomplished during this time and you can also take this time to write down what you want in a future mate. Wait on the right guy. Loneliness occurs in singles, and those in relationships. You have to be happy with you.

Good relationships shouldn't be stressful or hard work, obviously there is a degree of effort involved and with all relationships there will be times of stress, but for the most part they should be great.

To say you are missing out is subjective, you don't miss what you don't have and relationships can be good or bad.

You shouldn't be worrying, it will happen and it's not as if you don't have opportunities, perhaps it is better to focus on getting your degree and enjoying life there's plenty of time for relationships and at the moment your future career should take precedent. Saying that there's nothing wrong with having some fun either.
