At first alone would seem to be the best choice, BUT...

I guess if that meant that you would be alone forever, not just until you could find someone...that might be different. If I was doomed to be alone without anyone at all ever, I don't know if that would be worse than being at least with someone you couldn't be intimate with.

Ginger V certainly throws some light on this one though, if it's hell to be lonely in a relationship than I guess it comes down to which hell would you want to live with? I found life as a single person hell too.

I don't have an answer to this one, but I certainly admire the question's thought-provoking quality. My wife and I talked about this at length. Thanks jennaflower!
