Are my dateing standards really that high?

12 June 2011
Posted by blondie2002  in Dateing
I was talking to my bff, T a few mins ago via facebook chat and she told me she thinks my dateing standards are too high. :confused:/>(Is it too much to ask for a guy to live in the same zip code and not be a work a holic?) :(/> She said I had a few other things I had on my "list", but she couldn't name them all atm and said she'd tell me tommorow. Feedback is much appreciated.

I think "too high" is subjective.
I mean, if you had no standards people would call you "desperate"... wherever your standards are reflects what you are willing to sacrifice to be in a relationship. If you really want a mate right now, you have to be more open, but if you want to wait someone who meets your standards, if will take longer. Personally, I am in the waiting it our camp - I figure I'm doing okay by myself so if I find someone later that meets what I want from a relationship that'll be even better :)I think that nobody is our perfect ideal mate, but for the right person we let go of our "standards" a little without even thinking.

that's true. I'm in no means "desperate", especially after what I went through with B :down:
