I did find my true love. So I don't have to choose:)I get to grow old with the one I love! If he passed away before me and we were older I would live alone or move closer to family.
I do have unique expectations for love but I really wouldn't wanna be alone. But I know myself and I have not and will never be in a relationship if I didn't truly love the person.
Absolutely alone. I love my own company and experiencing things have always been enjoyable even if by myself. That said, now that I met someone so special, I'd choose to be with her over being by myself. The thought of settling has never occurred to me. It's always been about enjoying the company of one's self while searching for that perfect partner.
Probably settle.i dont want to be old and lonely:(eventually u can learn to love someone
My friend's parents had an arranged marriage, and they are very much in love, but they learned to love each other. I definitely think that learning to love someone can happen too.

Fortunatly I won't have to worry about that because I already get to grow old with my true love.
Grow old with the right person. I'm never alone, even if I weren't with a 'husband' or partner I wouldn't be alone. But being with a husband/partner that isn't the right one would be lonely.
be alone cuz i couldnt find it
Settle, id be lonely
I don't settle
Probably be alone. To a certain extent, people can learn to co-exist, but what kind of qualify of life is this? If I want to have company, I'll go out and make friends. Sharing a life with someone is so much more than just "not being lonely"
be alone if I hadn't found true love, but I feel that I did and have true love.
Probably settle.
