There's a difference between being lonely and being alone.
God said Adam shouldn't be "alone", not lonely. Adam wasn't lonely because God filled the vacuum. The concept of loneliness is not just human interactions but divine. God wants to fill up the space.
Apostle Paul was able to live without marriage because he wasn't lonely. God's observation about Adam was that he was alone, not lonely. Many are married (not alone) but still lonely.
Loneliness is a longing in your heart that only God can fill up.
Genesis 2:18 KJV And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
So if you want to get married because of "loneliness", you'll still be lonely because no matter how handsome and beautiful they are, they can't fill up your vacuum, only Jesus can. So, give your life to Christ first.
The concept of marriage is to ensure you're not "alone"; two shall chase ten thousand.

That's why the compatibility of ideology and mindset must be mutual on God's word and perspective on marriage. One might be running away from loneliness just to marry, while the other is being pulled by the burden of Purpose.
Ecclesiastes 4:10 KJV For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
God is very concerned about who you're paired with to guarantee you're not "alone".

So, check my friend. If you're feeling lonely, run to Jesus. He's the shepherd over your soul.
If you're "alone", then, you can seek God for pairing.
Both are important to God.
Be whole!
