I started praying at age 14 for GOD to someday lead me to the person that HE would have me married to. This was advised by an old Southern evangelist, and, as a male, I took it to heart. When I was 17, I saw her. I knew inside it was her. She needed convincing, however. We celebrate our 39th anniversary this year. We still keep things simple, like hiding a love note just slightly tucked on her pillow, or behind a soup can in the cupboard. I still get a squeeze when she walks by, and a hug when she leaves for work. We have 3 grandchildren who are near and dear to us in which we spoil. Beyond a doubt, ROMANCE is alive and well in this household.

It's okay to be single! Being single should not be viewed as something bad or an indication that there is something wrong with you. While most people do have some one, and while the Bible seems to indicate that it is God’s will for most people to have some one, it is not for everyone. Paul touches on this subject in I Corinthians 7 and I would recommend reading that.
As with everything else in life, we should ask God for wisdom (James 1:5) concerning it. Following God’s plan, whether that be with some one or single, will result in the productivity and joy that God desires for us!

Absolutely. We are not created by God with the aim of marriage. Look at Pauls thoughts on marriage... don't do it unless your sexual appetite is too strong to handle.
By marrying you actually limit your availability to God. You have focus more on earthly things, wife, children, providing for them, their safety, etc... You can't be fully devoted to God while having those worldly concerns, so i don't believe God specifically intends most to find anyone. There is no scripture that states this as a message for Christians.

Well it does but it doesn't. That's from my personal experience anyways. See I just got out of a bad relationship recently with the help of some people on here's encouragement. I found this girl about a year about well I guess she found me. We thought we hit it off right away but as things went along I tried to be romantic but she had other plans and our relationship slowly crumbled and I made mistakes because that's what I thought I had to do to make her stay. I thought I was gonna marry her but I just can't see it anymore. I did everything in the book to be romantic but it just didn't work. So to answer your question, yes romance does exist, just sometimes no, people aren't romantic back. That may be confusing but I hope it at least helps a little.
