I would rather be myself and be alone, then pretend to be someone I'm not, just to be with someone else.

Close to my favorite saying. " I'd rather be alone, than with someone who makes me feel less than special."

And thank you for saying this, Drew, because this is precisely what I've felt the past 3 months forcing myself to "try" to meet guys on eharmony on the advice of my psychiatrist and a few friends who say that I need to see that there are other fish in the sea to help me get over losing my XH. I have felt in this weird limbo all summer because I felt that my heart wasn't in this "quest" and now that I've cut off my membership I feel really good because I feel like I've "committed" to myself to being alone right now. Accepting being alone rather than forcing the issue just to have someone because people "feel sorry" for me that I'm alone has lifted a weight off for me.
