Is mediocre good enough?
Post Body

I was dating someone before lockdown (me: 30F, him 29M). He had a good job, he was kind to me and he was handsome. But I wasn't really into it. He wasn't particularily funny, it worried me that he had no active hobbies, he had no major opinions (apolitical, agnostic etc.) and was happy justing drifting through life. After about six weeks I ended it. I said I was only really interested in a serious relationship and didn't think we were compatible. He was annoyingly sweet about it; he said he understood but was upset. He thought things were going really well.

It's months later now and I still wonder if did the right thing. I've been single for 6 years. I want someone who has similar values and lifestyle goals to me. But also I just want someone who likes me and wants to spend time together. I can't really tell the difference between settling and not being picky anymore.

EDIT: Just to add, I ended it because I felt likeI was "better" than him, which made me feel like a shitty person. Obviously I know I'm no better or worse than anyone. 2nd EDIT: People know I've put better in inverted commas for a reason right? And mediocre refers to the potential relationship not this guy.
