MANILA — Jennica Garcia has grown comfortable with being single, but it isn&#x27;t because she has given up on finding love.The actress said she is simply more cautious about dating now, particularly because any future relationship would also mean finding a man willing to take on the responsibility of being a father figure to her two children.&quot;Feeling ko naging comfortable na yata ako,&quot; Garcia said in the new episode of Think Talk Tea hosted by Kring Kim. Garcia said she also had a season where she really wanted to date, but it just wouldn&#x27;t progress. &quot;Naalala ko mayroon akong strategy noon &#x27;yung pupunta ka ng La Union or Palawan tapos &#x27;pag pauwi ka na may ka-talking stage ka na, may season ako na ganoon. Ayaw kong sabihin na wala lang ganyan. Kaya lang kasi lumipas siya,&quot; she said.<div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787107739086Jennica.JPG" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>YouTube/ Think Talk Tea </div>For Garcia, finding love again isn&#x27;t simply about finding the right man for herself as he also has to be someone who can stay for her children.Garcia and her former husband Alwyn Uytingco separated ways in 2021. They are co-parenting their two children Athena Mori and Alexis Severina.That&#x27;s why she is not rushing into another relationship, saying she would rather remain single than risk putting her children through another heartbreak.&quot;May instance in the past na mayroon akong napakilala sa kids ko and they become so comfortable with this man and in the end hindi naman siya nag-work out. Then na-realize ko ano ang ginawa ko sa mga anak ko? Why did I give them another heartbreak? Why did I do that? Ang tagal kong nag-heal from it,&quot; she said.&quot;So sabi ko &#x27;Lord, I want to do it Your way . Madaling rumelasyon lalo na ngayon may dating app, you can avail services where they can help you find a partner in life. But the thing is because I have kids, ayaw ko silang bigyan ng isang lalaking kaya silang talikuran. I want them to have a father who is able to stay.  Kapag iniisip ko kasi if I do it God&#x27;s way it will take much longer but at least it&#x27;s something that can last forever,&quot; she said.In the interview, Garcia revealed that she stopped dating two years ago.&quot;Ito na yata &#x27;yung longest na hindi ako nag-date. Kasi in the past, 2021 ako nahiway so since 2021, I would go out naman I would go out with men, they would take me out on date, I had super fun. Pero two years nang wala, kahit talking stage. So kapag iniisip ko &#x27;oh my gosh ano kaya nangyari?&#x27;  Ah it&#x27;s because I&#x27;m praying na &#x27;Lord, please don&#x27;t make me look, romantically attractive to a man who is not your true follower&#x27; hiningi ko rin,&quot; said the actress, who also shared she does not maintain male friends. When asked what she does if a man wants more than friendship, Garcia said: &quot;If they tell me that, I tell them that, &#x27;Do you know being in a relationship with me would entail you being a father of my children?&#x27; That is something that scares them. Kasi you are going to date me, you want the perks of me being your girlfriend but you don&#x27;t want the responsibility that comes with being my partner.&quot;&quot;Kasi ako ang ipinagdarasal ko is &#x27;Lord, please equip me to be a woman who is capable of being a man&#x27;s comfort. &#x27;Yung next to you, I want to be this man&#x27;s greatest comfort. And I know it would like crazy, but you know I&#x27;m so in love with my husband I don&#x27;t even met him yet. Like you don&#x27;t  know. If you are watching this, you don&#x27;t know how much I&#x27;m taking good care of myself, just so when God gives me you I&#x27;m someone capable of being your greatest comfort,&quot;  Garcia added.
