How to stay happy while single?

https://ift.tt/4irZQzA

I've never been in a relationship and I know at this point it's better for me to work on getting to the point where I'm completely happy with myself and my own life before dating seriously.

I know this is going to take a long time, though, and, unfortunately, there are a lot of times where I'm reminded of the things I can't have while single: romantic, physical intimacy (definitely different than anything you can share with a friend or family member), the feeling of being that close and intimate with someone you're attracted to, always having someone to talk to/go to who genuinely cares, being the first person to someone you care about, being fully accepted for your entire being and accepting them in return, having that person who will enthusiastically go through life with you (traveling, moving in together, etc.)

Can someone tell me how I can make up for the lack of these things while single?

I know a lot of people talk about taking yourself out on dates and investing in hobbies/gifts for yourself but it's proving difficult as I'm in between jobs right now and am spending most of my time on applications. I have also been feeling increasingly lonely with the winter season fast approaching and everyone I know being in loving relationships.

I know that I'm better off single since I would still be broke and not in the best place while in a relationship but the knowledge that I would have the things I listed does make me feel like life would be greatly improved.

Trust me, I'm not gonna go off and start dating, I'm committed to staying away. I'm in therapy and I'm continuing to develop and carry out my goals and am trying to distract myself from dating as much as possible.

I just want to know how I can self soothe these feelings of loneliness and the lack of intimacy in my life.
