Are my standards too high? (Dating)

Asked by Sunshinegirl11 (1110) September 23rd, 2017 from iPhone

Hi everyone. Can I have your honest opinion?

I’m a 22 year old female, I’ve only been in 3 relationships. All of which were longer than a year. I’ve been single for 2 and a half years now.

I’m not really interested in dating because I haven’t really found anyone I would like to date.

I get infatuated easily, but after a few dates I usually know if I want to pursue them further or not, and usually it’s the latter.

Now my ideal guy is what keeps me from pursuing most men. My ideal guy is tall, handsome, ambitious, confident, intellectual, compassionate, and loves to do things outdoors. These traits are also traits that I hold very important in myself.

In my previous relationships, they were compassionate. That’s a wonderful thing obviously, but the relationships were lacking in all the other areas. I think I’m so picky now because all of my exes were extremely clingy and suffocating. I don’t want to be in a relationship like that again.

I’m currently infatuated with someone now, still getting to know him. He is definitely not my ideal guy, but I wonder if I’m too picky.

Thoughts?
