Dont be afraid to fly it solo.
If you want a relationship then do so. Good luck to you. But when people sound like they NEED to be in one due to some sort of social pressure, it upsets me. "Behind every great man, is a great woman" is just some pro-feminist statement. It's not to be taken literally.

I understand what you are saying, and don't get me wrong I have some awesome family and friends. However I am the type of guy that gets very easily distracted, for example if I like a girl, I have a tendency to consume my thoughts entirely, rather than thinking about other things such as my career. Maybe this belief will change over time but at the moment I feel like if I found that person, then it would mean that those resources could be spent on my career. From friends I have in the same career, they say that trying to date, while working 6 days a week in a stressful job, where your working 6-9pm most days is very hard. Because of this I dont want to be the guy that is 30+ and hasn't started a family.
