"I could look at it one of two ways. I am a loving person and friends were happy that I had finally found someone to really love me back. Or, whether people admitted it or not, they felt relieved that I was no longer alone, as if everything were going to be OK now, because, for as far as we've come, there's still the underlying belief that a woman needs a man to be complete.
I am certainly happy to have a boyfriend I love and who loves me back, but honestly, I would have preferred if friends and family had celebrated my Facebook single status with the same gusto. Learning to love being alone is hard, and, in my opinion, is worth way more "likes" than an added "heart" next to your name. "

I agree with this article in the sense that sometimes we are fooled into believing love is a panacea for all that is wrong with our lives. Sorry, girls. Love won't get you a better GPA, it won't make your parents stop fighting and it won't make you feel any better about yourself if your self esteem is at zero. Stop looking to men to solve the problems that you're too lazy to fix yourself.
