contemplating full throttle

i came across this post i made on a dating advice thread of a messageboard i read daily:

i went on a dating spree for a while but i haven't gone out with anyone lately - it's too much effort/time without enough reward. i'm actually quite content with not dating anyone, just hanging out with friends or by myself or whatever. is it okay to continue with this non dating behavior or am i going to end up hating myelf when i'm older because i ended up becoming a wrinkled spinster with 40 cats because i didn't go full throttle in my youth?

(note: my name on this board is cris b/c cristina was already taken, and i couldn't be bothered to come up with a clever nickname. i do not like being called cris.)

their dating advice answer: "what is wrong with not dating? Do what you feel comfortable doing."

i'm a bit unsatisfied with this answer. of COURSE i'm not comfortable dating. dating sucks! so while it's correct, i guess, it still makes me say "i guess."
