Hi Nurse1986,
There is nothing wrong with not bothering with men for any amount of time that you choose. All these methods of meeting someone are obviously going against your grain. I think deep down you probably know that you are wasting your time with these, this way, and that the right one for you will come along in a totally different way and slot into your life and lifestyle perfectly.
The way things are going you'll probably find yourself more and more put off by the ones you are meeting. Maybe the process is putting you off so give that up. It won't make any difference to your chances of finding the right person for you if that's what's meant to happen for you.
You cannot avoid meeting the person you are meant to be with. They will cross your path several times until the time is right for you to meet.
It's entirely your choice to not bother and just enjoy your life as it is. We don't need a partner to be happy or even fulfilled if our needs are met by other things we do.

I'm the same as you, to be honest. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I love that I'm not in a relationship, because it means I can be completely selfish, and only think about what's best for me, which I think is really important at the moment. Is there a reason why you feel you need to be in a long term relationship right now?
I agree that these things happen when you're ready. It sounds like you need to concentrate on yourself for now, which is fine. There's no law that says you have to spend a certian percentage of your adult life in a relationship, which is good news for me 
I'd also suggest that you stop looking for a relationship so you can just see men as people rather than potential life partners. In my experience, male friends don't really expect the kind of connection that female friends do, at least not at first. If you want to meet new people you could find an evening class or something, or you could just spend more time alone, doing what you want to do. There's nothing wrong with being happy on your own.
