Relationships are fascinating. You meet someone, completely fall head over heels, then you think you love them, so you get into a relationship and then you feel like you have been trapped in a prison.
I find it ironic that people jump from one relationship to the next within a mere two weeks. How is that even logistically possible to get to know someone else, get serious, and then actually like them for who they are and then get into a solid relationship again so quickly.
I believe that people are obsessed with the concept of love more than they are obsessed with getting to know someone for who they are. There is so much pressure from all aspects of life to find someone and settle down. And that’s not a bad thing by any means, but it becomes pointless when you do it for the sake of it.
And that's why there are so many people on anti-depression pills. Because they rely solely on someone else's company to fulfill their needs or desires without learning how to be independent.
Love is about learning to be independent in a dependent situation. Isn’t that what a successful marriage or relationships is all about? And if you are not ready for it, then why rush? Just have fun and get to know yourself in the meantime!

You make some very good points! But to really understand what relationships are about, you should read Olga Sheean's 'Fit for Love - find your self and your perfect mate'. In print or e-book. It's very enlightening!
