Anyone chosen to voluntarily stay out of relationships for awhile? How did that work out?

I'm curious. I've heard that sometimes it's good to take a break from dating to really reflect on improving one's self and selection of partners. I'm not sure if there is any truth to this, but I'm curious if anyone has tried it?Anyone chosen to voluntarily stay out of relationships for awhile? How did that work out?
I've chosen not to date until I'm finished with college and right now I'm in my sophomore year. For me it's been helpful because my priorities are more focused on schoolwork and not on when I'll be able to see my boyfriend next.





But I can see how taking a break to reflect on improvement would help. I went through something just like that and I'm much happier now.
