You don't have to do it for everything. There's lots of lower risk, rewarding activities than trying to find someone decent to date. I'm way less depressed since I got over the idea that I needed to be in a relationship to be happy. I have friends I hang out with. I have hobbies that interest me. Sure I'd like to have sex more but being in a relationship is no guarantee of that either.
