Stay Single Until… Why Being Alone Is Better Than Being in the Wrong Relationship

October 2, 2025

Hi, I'm Jackie

I'm the head cheerleader for your love story, your new 'big sis' and wing woman - so if you're new to me, welcome to me, your love life will be better now. 

Modern dating can make women feel like being single is a problem to be solved. Culture tells you to rush, to compete, to grab hold of anyone just so you won’t be “alone.”

But let me tell you the truth: Being single isn’t tragic.

What is tragic is being in a relationship where you are unseen, unappreciated, and unloved. What’s tragic is shrinking yourself to fit a man who doesn’t value you, or losing your peace just to keep someone who was never meant for you.

There are far worse things than being single. And that’s why it’s better to wait in wholeness than to settle in heartbreak.

Stay Single Until He Calls Instead of Hiding Behind Texts

Texting is convenient, but it’s not pursuit. A man who’s serious about you won’t keep hiding behind emojis and short replies. He’ll call you, because he wants to hear your voice, your laughter, your heart.

Stay single until his effort matches your worth.

Stay Single Until He’s Not Leaving You Second-Guessing

If you spend more time decoding his mixed signals than enjoying his presence, that’s not love, it’s anxiety.

Love brings clarity. Peace. Confidence. Not constant second-guessing.

Stay single until you’re secure in where you stand with him.

Stay Single Until Consistency Is His Love Language

Charm will dazzle you for a moment, but consistency will sustain you for a lifetime. A spiritmate doesn’t just show up when it’s easy, he shows up every day.

Stay single until his follow-through speaks louder than his promises.

Stay Single Until You Feel Peace, Not Anxiety

The presence of the right man won’t make you smaller, anxious, or restless. It will feel like an exhale, not a panic attack. Peace is the fruit of healthy love, not confusion.

Stay single until peace is your baseline.

Stay Single Until He Respects Your Boundaries Without Negotiation

Boundaries aren’t tests, they’re expressions of self-worth. The right man doesn’t push, guilt-trip, or try to wear you down. He respects your “no” and honors your values.

Stay single until respect is non-negotiable.

Stay Single Until He Prays With You, Not Just Plays With You

Dating isn’t just about attraction. It’s about alignment. When you meet your spiritmate, he won’t just want your body, he’ll want your spirit and your heart.

Stay single until you’re spiritually seen and covered.

Stay Single Until You Feel Chosen, Not Tolerated

You weren’t made to beg for love, audition for acceptance, or shrink to fit someone’s low capacity. You deserve to be cherished as the beautiful woman you were made to be.

Stay single until you’re celebrated, not merely tolerated.

The Real Tragedy

Don’t let fear of being single push you into relationships that diminish you.

There are worse things than being single:

  • Being in a relationship where you feel alone.
  • Being with someone who doesn’t respect your boundaries.
  • Being tolerated instead of treasured.
  • Being treated like an option instead of a choice.

Singleness is not the enemy. Settling is.

So yes, stay single until love feels safe, steady, and sure.
Stay single until peace outweighs confusion.
Stay single until the man who sees your worth shows up.

Because it’s not tragic to be single.

It’s tragic to waste your life in the wrong relationship.
