Would you rather grow old with someone you "settled" for, or be alone when you are older because you didn't find true love?

someone youlove
Being alone when I'm older would be saddening at times, but I don't think I'm the type of person who NEEDS a relationship. If I had never found my true love, I would find happiness through other things. Being with someone I settled for would make me depressed and would be unfair for the other person.
I would rather grow old with someone I settled with, because my greatest fear is dying old alone. It may be selfish, but it's true.
Settling is an awful concept - even if not with someone you're not alone. Alone.
No settling, so I guess I'd have to choose to be alone.
It really depends on which option is likely to result in more sex.
True love is a myth, so my advice to all of you out there is to find someone who loves you for you, and who is not crazy... that helps also.
Be alone? What about having friends?
Alone
Growing old with someone you've settled for is like trying to swim with an anchor. Find love, and stick with it, or be alone and keep your head above water.
Be alone
I haven't settled for anything yet, why would I start now.
Regardless of if I was with someone or not I would never die alone, so I would never consider settling an option. There is nothing sadder than seeing someone waste their life on someone they truly don't love. Meet someone who has found their soulmate and look at the zest they have for life. Then look at someone who settled. They are often just going through the motions of life. There is no choice.
I would much rather be with someone than to live life alone.
I'd rather be alone. For sure.
