Which is why you gotta make time and make yourself work on yourself, hombre. I know it's hard, but the fact is, you're stuck with yourself for the rest of your life, so might as well make that guy as great a partner as you possibly can. Indeed, one of the wisest words of wisdom I ever heard was "always have something better to do than look for a significant other." Doesn't mean you shouldn't spend any time deliberately looking for lurrrve, but always keep in mind the most important stuff: your academics/career/purpose/passion.
And remember: it might take both a sense of purpose/direction and a Significant Other (SO) to make one truly happy, but to be truly, sustainably happy, one first needs to be content, and one only be content when one has a sense of purpose/direction. (Not having a sense of purpose/direction while having an SO might seem like happiness for a while, but it's a mouthful of candy sort of happy: pleasing in the moment, but no replacement for a solid meal, and without real food to support it, the crash's gonna hurt hard.)
