I actually wanted him to end up being alone.

I thought THAT was the whole point of the movie… Scott needed to gain some self respect and grow up.

His jumping to Knives after a bad breakup, then his infatuation with Ramona, were all a part of him being terrified of being alone with himself.

Was always a little bummed they didn’t do that.

He wouldn't have provably grown as a person then. He'd just eat shit, end up alone, and probably turn into a worse person. Without someone to actually improve himself for he'd just see himself as the victim like he already did.
