If the reason why you are breaking up is that you want to try to find better candidates the breakup is not that good evidence that the match is bad. While finding the match bad will lead to a breakup, having a breakup doesn't neccesarily mean that the match is bad.
I agree with what you are saying - absolutely!
The situation you are describing is more like 2 (in my response above) in that the reason you broke up (to look for other good matches) is no longer there.
Was there a particular wording of the original post that you would suggest I change or add to clarify this point? (all my posts are open to improvement)
