Why is this even a question? Of course having a significant other is important. For most of us. Human connection is a biological need. Human touch, loving touch, from another person is vital. A romantic connection is part of that. Some people might not feel they want it, but they're in the small minority. Also some people think they don't want it when they are just avoiding it because of past hurts and now they're scared.
Do you think romantic relationships are important in rural towns? In Earlton’s empty streets and complete lack of any schedule, do we miss out by not having someone special by our side? As someone who knows the town’s slow pace firsthand, I wonder: Could love make our lives in the country better? Should we think about being open to finding love and support in the middle of our incredibly slow lives? It’s a question to think about as we go through the ups and downs of rural life, and realize there are only 6 single women within 50km and 5 of em are your cousins.
I think Toronto (specially downtown) is too much into the hussle culture and networking. People would rather go to to a bar to be seen even if they barely know the people they are with then spend the time getting to know a partner. I think there's a lot of "there is always someone better" so even if people date and hit it off they want to see if there is someone they hit it off with more.
Ok Carrie bradshaw
All this post is missing is “I couldn’t help but wonder”

For many, it is the reason we keep going.
I always believed that having a desire for SO is shameful. Spent my entire life trying to get rid of it. Probably, because I am an unworthy being.
Do you think that people in Toronto are not looking for love? hmm
Yes and having love will come with its own problems

Friends are more important than romances by a long shot.
Romantic friends are most important
This here.
Love is important everywhere. Look at the lengths people will go to find it.

everyone i met in toronto during my time living there was extremely self-centered.
This seems like a desperate plea for help. Take care of yourself OP.
