"Get me a girlfriend" sounds like a girlfriend found that way will not be good for your plans... maybe not being close to have one, but it's better to continue moving and find someone that is on the same page, someone you can find because you are walking the same path. I don't know, at least I see that better.

It can lead to a looooong time being single tho, but if you are ok being single, then that is not a problem. I don't like relationships so I'm absolutely fine being single and working on my own things, if later someone happen to fit into my life then so be it.
