After making up their minds, 42% of people wait a week before breaking up with their partner.
The fallout from breakups is considerable. A whopping 58% of people consider their breakups to be dramatic or messy. And nearly a fifth (19%) of Americans said that they’ve been ghosted by their (now ex) partners at the end of their long-term relationships. However, 71% of Americans admitted that they still stay in touch with their exes. 60% opened up that they still stalk their ex-partners on social media.

The alternative—seeing someone you can’t stand and pretending to like them—is far worse. Lying to yourself and to your date wouldn’t be fair. It’s good to have standards. There is a caveat, however.

But perfection is boring anyway. Someone’s flaws, quirks, and imperfections are a huge part of what makes a person truly unique. And if you can see yourself being okay with at least some of them, then that stranger you’re having a coffee date with might eventually become ‘your’ person in the future. The reality is that you won’t significantly change your partner into someone ‘better’ (aka more in line with your ideal) after you two start dating. If you can’t accept them for who they are now, it’ll only lead to frustration in the future.
