It's better to be alone than to be with someone you don't love. At least when you're alone, you can be honest with yourself. Pretending to have something you don't, or even waiting for something that likely won't happen, will do a number on you over time.
And when you're alone, you've more available to those you meet who you just might rather be with.
Do the both of you a favour: end it.
