Dating Unscripted: Keep Your Standards High
I’ve been truly single for what seems like eons. But since my last serious relationship a couple of years ago, there have been several questionable matches, a few horrible first dates and a couple of almosts. Or as someone once put it, contenders. While I would have loved to make any one of those contenders a full-fledged boyfriend — like, even make it Facebook and Instagram official — it just didn’t happen. In the mix of men I’ve dated, I’ve at least been able to establish some standards regarding what I look for in a partner. Having high standards isn’t being picky when you yourself are abiding by said standards. You should go into dating with an open mind and open heart: That’s where the difference between being picky and having high standards really establishes itself. I later found this out from the group of guys I asked to save me from my horrible date. I’m educated. I have a good career and live an active lifestyle despite having a dangerous sweet tooth any nutritionist or dentist would cringe at.
