Being alone is a vulnerability. To me, it is like nails on a chalkboard in my soul sometimes. Waking up alone every morning, going to bed at night the same way, eating alone at lunchtime, the cafeteria of life passing me by, just as it did when I was a lad. I am the third wheel at the movies, either that or sitting at the back with an empty seat between me and the nearest human being.
Three years of solitude has taught me that being alone is no better than being in a bad relationship, just different to it. It certainly is not a good enough time, to discount the possibility of one day being something other than crushingly lonely.

The hurt can leave people just devastated. But, it can make people stronger and wiser
I don't think it's a good idea for some to be in any hurry in finding someone. You didn't say that...I was just musing. One may find that they miss their alone time.
It IS wise to be single as opposed to settling or allowing yourself to become someone's hobby. Don't stay with someone long enough to become jaded and changed to your core.
I still believe when you meet the right person it will all fall into place (hopeless romantic!) and they won't try to change you and you won't WANT to change them.
It will just be right.
P.S. Good luck!
All I know is, if I had ever had it, I would still have it, because true love is bulletproof, future proof, inviolate to a degree that nothing else in human experience can even compare to. There are materials from the oldest reaches of time, that do not have nearly the same staying power.

I am positive that I have come to the conclusion that being alone is better than letting anyone in to the point where you feel vulnerable, and subsequently get hurt.
The hurt you feel is never worth the happiness that person might bring you.
I have walls up for a serious reason, and every single time I have let them down the person either f*cks you over or leaves.
people might say 'oh you havent met the right person'
no everyone is the same.
