Lucy Hale Won't Lower Her Standards For Any Man, Said: "I'll Die Alone Before I Settle"

Lucy Hale would rather "die alone before I settle" for any man. The Pretty Little Liars alum, 33, admitted that after doing so in the past, she won't settle for a man who needs work. On the Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson podcast, Hale remarked, "I think that you can find someone who you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically connect with — like, a 10 out of 10 in each area. I think that is possible. I think so many people settle. I'm not gonna f---in' settle. I'll die alone before I settle. It's so dramatic, but that's just how I feel." "I have journals where I've written out specifically what I'm looking for because I do believe in the power of manifestation," she continued.

Hale also discussed the qualities she is now seeking in a potential suitor. She said, "I just have these standards and I refuse to believe that that's not out there." "I definitely have an open mind to ... dating someone different as well," she continued. "But it's more I just fall back to the self-respect and self-worth that I have now that I didn't have earlier in my life."

Lucy Hale is looking for someone who can make her laugh, is "spiritually evolved," and is self-aware. In addition, she isn't interested in playing games with her potential boyfriend either. Hale also disclosed that she fell in love with her brother's best friend at the age of 14 and lost her virginity to him and said, "It just opened my eyes to really believing — and I think I've done it quite a few times in my life where I manifest things, and it is powerful."   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="2000"] Image credit: Refinery29[/caption] Moreover, she stated that she has dated guys as elderly as 52 years old and that she now thinks she would "probably end up with someone around my age or older, just because of [my] non-negotiables." Hale believes, "I feel like a lot of people in that older age bracket will meet those." On another note, Hale has previously dated actor Skeet Ulrich, former Bachelor Colton Underwood, musician Anthony Kalabretta, and country singer Joel Crouse. She told PEOPLE in December 2021 that she won't settle "for less than what I think I deserve."
