Another piece of advise fitting to the topic is the importance of understanding and enjoying ones own life.

I know so many people who are entirely focused on wanting to be co-dependent with someone else to the point where they rather stick in unhealthy relationships instead of embracing the idea of fulfilling oneself for a bit.

I find that utterly unattractive. Why would I want to be together with someone who can't even bear being with herself? Love is a nice concept and all, but I want a relationship to make my life better, not needlessly more stressful, in a bad way.
