I love being single and I'm tired of people looking down on me because of it

I've been single for quite some time now, about 9 1/2 months, the last guy I dated and actually called my "boyfriend", it was a very serious relationship and I did love him but it ended badly. I've been in the dating scene for months now and it's not that I'm closed off to love, it's just that I'm not looking. Every time I go on dates, either the date is horrible and awkward or the date is good and fun and we just become friends, then there's those guys that fall WAYYYYY too fast for me and end up trying to argue their way into my life and win my heart, I'm starting to feel like I really just haven't been dating the right guys because no feelings have been caught on my side of things. 
Over the past couple of weeks I've realized that focusing on myself and my body and figuring out who I am especially at this really crucial time of life (19 going on 20) this is the time when we're all figuring it out then in the next couple of years, hopefully we'll find the right person for us, you just have to go through the duds first and there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe this post will help someone who's feeling the same way I am, there's no shame in being single and having fun.
