It seems like what attracts a lot of people to relationships is the fact that they are not whole human beings and they are terrified of being alone and facing the world on their own, I AM NOT!
Then since you aren't currently dating anyone, you're good!

I think everyone does or SHOULD ask this question in some form or capacity. Why make the sacrifices for a relationship if a person brings nothing to the table to make yall's lives better?

And how can someone make your life better? Maybe we should start by defining "better." What is "better" to you?

That is exactly the question I'm asking. Why go exclusive with someone who is not going to help you unlock your potential and place you in a better place than before?

Generally you can spot those people pretty early on, so you would not need to invest any time or emotional energy.
