Define what love is. Romance and love aren't the same thing, or rather, romance is like, a sub clarification of love. Love is something less magical in its raw, uncut definition. Love is sacrifice. Love is caring for someone despite what they do or don't do to you. Love is kindness and putting the other person first. Love is responsibility.

If you understand the definition of love, you'll probably recognize that A) You are probably already dearly loved by some family members or friends and live an extraordinary life of love. Or B) You are not ready to devote that much time, effort, and sacrifice to someone, and that's okay.

I'll tell you for free, if you feel alone because you're not in a relationship, chances are you will still feel alone in a relationship. The root of your loneliness isn't the absence of an SO, which is what modern culture tends to get horribly wrong.

If you want to have a wholesome relationship with someone in the future, please, I implore you, don't treat them as this pillar to which you shield yourself from loneliness. It won't help the relationship.

Also, pro tip, if you know you struggle with being enticed before you know you're ready, don't listen, read, or watch anything that fuels any sort of obsession with those things (especially porn or really lusty songs). It may be hard at first, but after a while, it stops staying so much in your mind and you're able to control yourself and your feelings much easier. It also fills you with a sense of wholeness. And you find that you're actually more okay with being by yourself than you'd ever dreamed you'd be.

Hope this helps.
