Peace in solitude. #datingadvice #datingtips #relationshipadvice

My mom used to say, “A good man needs to be better than no man at all.”

[amymullen]

I am a firm believer that "It's better to be alone than to wish you were."

[Jynxxed]

“ I do not need you.I want you” is the highest compliment to a man bc that means that you can compete with the peace I have on my own

[Justsayin]

That is absolutely true. It’s far better to be alone than feel unloved, not valued and disrespected.

[katieswanhamilton]

Whitney said it best- “I’d rather be alone than unhappy” 💯💯💯

“I like being alone. I have control over my space. Therefore, in order to win me over, your presence has to be better than my solitude. You are not competing with another person, you are competing with my comfort zone.”
Horacio James

The decision to be with someone has to outweigh the choice to be alone, the right person will make you feel like you don't have to give up alone time either

[Danni-]

Exactly this! My ex would say I "replaced" him with another man. Um no hunty I replaced you with peace and it was better.

"no company is better than bad company" I can't believe this ancient quote would be forgotten in a time when it would be so needed.

[jarastar]

Exactly. Dating a person is not about trying to convince them that you’re better than all their other options. It’s about convincing them that you’re better than being peacefully alone

[LiquidBones]

Better be alone than be with bad company!

[worrydarling]

Hit the nail on the head. My dating philosophy is the moment I find someone whose company I like better then my own, that’s when I’m hooked. It’s never about being better than other men, it’s about the qualities they have to offer that would persuade me to want to spend time with them rather than myself

[Laura-gbjv]

You're better off alone than with someone who doesn't respect you. I repeat this to anyone, of any gender, who seems to need it.

[JanWristen]

Yes! After many years of that blissful solitude, that’s exactly what potential partners are competing against.

Being alone is dangerous, it's addicting. Once you realize how peaceful it is you don't want to deal with people anymore.

Speaking as a woman married 34 years this is so true. One of the most beautiful things about my husband is he knows when to leave me alone. Dead serious

[portlandsamber]

Yes. I'm almost 40 and I'm ready to be alone forever. No drama. No immaturity. Just taking care of my damn self and not some man-baby.

[Talks_much]

Literally have never left a man for another man. I always leave for myself.

[icetiger-]

I’d have to agree. An empty bed is better than a world of heartache.

[melissastone]

I’m 49 and this is absolutely true. Took me years but it’s something we know deep in our bones. Peace is worth more than anything or anyone
