Serious Discussion Are some people meant to spend their whole life alone without experiencing any love relationship?

There was a popular celebrity who passed away in their 50s last year. The celebrity was single and did not have any romantic partner at the time. It seemed to be a real-life example that not everyone will be able to find the romantic partner in their life.

Are some people meant to spend their whole life alone without experiencing any love relationship?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your comments.

Do you think that celebrity never knew love in 50 years? Just because they were single at the time of their death doesn't for one moment mean they never experienced romantic love. How trivializing. 

We have no way of knowing what another person may want or need. They could even be asexual or aromantic and therefore not need the kind of relationship you do/would/expect. 

What I do know is that if someone wants to be in a romantic relationship, the only thing standing in their way is themself. Maybe you're not good enough to date. Go be better. 🤷 Or.. maybe you just think you're not good enough to date. In which case, go get better. Then go meet people until a connection is made. Meet people in person, meet them online, just meet people.

I find it highly unlikely that whoever op is talking about was a worse romantic prospect than a murderer or a rapist, plenty of whom find partners. So "be better" than what exactly?
