I didn't read it like that, but I think the OP should confirm or deny your interpretation and not me

The happy single is not a myth, but I'd rather be a happy single BY CHOICE (after having understood and got what I wanted and liked) than fooling myself saying I'm happy alone while, deep down, I'd throw everything away by a lil' bit of love.

How do you define 'by choice'? I would rather be in a relationship than be single, so I cannot very well claim to be single by choice.
I am single because of circumstance - the absence of someone who is both willing and able to be my partner and whom I would be willing and able to partner with. This circumstance does not make me unhappy. On the contrary, I am quite content with the life I lead and the choices I've made and would still be content if this path I'm on would imply being single for the rest of my life. My happiness is not circumstantial.
My feel was that the OP is also seeking this un-circumstantial happiness, rather than wanting to suppress his desire for a lil' bit of love...
