How to accept I (25M) might be single forever?

One of my girl friends recently gave me some advice when it came to finding a partner: “accept that you might be single forever and stop looking. Once you do that, you’ll stop living with that pressure on you and she’ll come to you without you looking”.

I somewhat see where she’s coming from. I noticed whenever I’m focused on my goals, hanging out with friends, or just enjoying a hobby of mine, I feel more at peace. However, my thoughts for a partner do come up occasionally.

I feel it’s easier for women to accept being single forever then men. This is partly because women are mostly approached by men, while men don’t get approached. Also I feel women can get their romantic/sexual needs easier without a relationship. I also do want children of my own one day so I suppose that adds to my desire for partnership. I know for men, there’s no biological pressure to have children soon, and for men that don’t want children, it’s probably easier for them to accept being single as there’s nothing pressuring them to settle down.

I don’t want it to sound like I’m looking for a pity party or that I’m whining about being single. I’m just trying to figure out how to genuinely accept this possibility without it bumming me out.
