Quietheart,
It is very understandable that you feel this way! When you see a couple you automatically think of happiness forever, and social acceptance.I am a little insecure about my singleness. I wonder how many other people are?
Here's my answer to yuor questions:
1.) Make yourself happy first. Having a low self esteem and being in a relationship is difficult for people to pull off. If you want to meet people, volunteer or take a class. Do something you are interested in. I have always thought of bars as being places where people have one night stands. Although my mom and dad met in a bar so go figure.
2.) In some ways I feel like everyone should have a partner. But about a year ago when I was single I was very happy and wasn't insecure about my singleness at all.
Gotta go. Will answer the rest later.
