I'd argue against giving false hopes.
Learning to love yourself is good. But people should be aware that there's a good chance they'll never find love in their whole lives. That's a reality some people need to prepare to.
It's not the end of the world. No one wants to live without love but it happens even to the best of people. The best someone can do is just learning how to live by themselves and enjoy that kind of life.
If love eventually comes, good luck, but it's not a guarantee. And if someone has been single for a long time (I mean the better part of their adult life) chances are they will just be single for life, or at least without proper love. And people need to be prepare for that, because it's not easy.
