Great article :). As somebody who has been single for over 5 years and nearly married at a young age (something I don't recommend doing just after finishing my studies), I can personally relate to your story. I have been on quite a few dates, but found most guys weren't suitable. I actually feel more happier and liberated during these times and understand what I want from a future partner (of which I have found someone). I just wish there was less pressure for young women in particular to be pushed into relationships and told you're not successful if you aren't with someone.
