Too independent for our own good?

As we all get older and out friends and family are getting married and having babies, you get more pressure from yourself and your family to get on the wagon and start joining in on the wedding/baby trend.I'm not blaming my friends, I just implying that the lifestyle my friends and I live could possibly contribute to us all being single. Think about it, most things you would do with a significant other you can do with your friends, check out a new restaurant, travel, go to a movie, be a date at a wedding, game night, etc. Aside from the physical aspect of a relationship you already have your friends covering all aspects (emotional, social, mental). I look at my group of friends that are single and granted we all want to get married at some point, but in the meantime we haven't been enjoying the ride with our friends till it happens. So I can see why it becomes more difficult to meet someone and let them in when you have already made a comfortable little "nest" for yourself. I do believe that its going to happen when it happens, but at the same time we all need to be proactive about it. Is our independence what prevents us from being in relationships? Has our independence made us forget how to compromise? Or do we know what we want and aren't willing to settle until we find it?
