You need to be okay with your own company first. When you can be alone, and feel at peace and happy just to be experiencing this beautiful thing called life, you know you are ready to share that with someone.
The problem is that having someone to share it with can bring out that neediness in us.
It is a bit like when someone poor is happy and living the simple life, then they win millions of dollars, and it just eats them up and tears their life apart and they are miserable. You gotta be in that healthy place first, and be able to maintain it. You probably also know some people who change around their partners. These people are too enmeshed with their partner, and too concerned with what they think of them. This is highlighted by them constantly taking their temperature.
Anyway, I'm rambling. You have the rest of your life to be in relationships, there is no rush. Also, you are valuable, and should be selective (dont let your ego get flattered by the first woman who shows you attention and trip over yourself to be with her).
