You're not too picky. You're doing the math.
The Peace Math is a free 7-question check for anyone dating after heartbreak. Think of one person. Tap the first answer that feels true.
Over the last few weeks, have their actions matched their words?
After time with them, do you feel more like yourself?
Can you talk about something real without it turning back to them?
When you've said no, did they take it without sulking, pushing or punishing you?
Do you keep explaining the same basic need?
Around them, does your body relax or brace?
If you were never lonely again, would you still pick them?

Why your brain does this
It didn't turn cold. It learned.
After the wrong kind of heartbreak, five things tend to change. None of them are flaws. Each one is protecting something.
Dating starts to feel like risk
Your threat radar got an update. Charm used to feel like romance. Now it feels like something to check.
It protects: your time, before anyone earns it.
Small talk feels empty
You've had depth, or you've learned you need it. Surface-level dating now drains you instead of filling you.
It protects: your energy, for people who can meet you.
You run the numbers
Every new person gets one quiet question: is this worth risking my peace? Most of the time the honest answer is no.
It protects: the calm you rebuilt by yourself.
You built a fortress
Your independence became the safest relationship you have. You know exactly who's allowed in, and why.
It protects: the version of you that got hurt.
You refuse to downgrade
You'd rather be alone than spend your life explaining yourself to someone who doesn't get it.
It protects: your standards, from loneliness.
Being alone isn't the injury. Betraying your own peace to avoid being alone is.From the post
Questions
Before you start
What is The Peace Math?
It's a free 7-question check you run on one person. Each answer is worth 2, 1 or 0 peace points, out of 14. Your score tells you if this person is worth a closer look, not yet, or not worth your peace.
Who is it for?
Anyone dating again after heartbreak. It also works on the ex who keeps checking in, or a friend who wants more.
What do I get if I give my email?
Your full result opens right away: the answers that cost this person points and what each one means, what to do this week, one line to say, 3 printables and a 3-minute audio. A copy goes to your inbox.
Is this therapy?
No. It's a self-check for reflection, not a diagnosis. If someone is hurting you, the hotline numbers are at the bottom of this page.
Your peace has weight. Weigh people against it.
Seven questions, one person, one honest answer.
