Dating
Happier Alone
post #1

I'm very unusual. I have some what high standards and, sort of, expectations from my relationships. But the most important things to me are loyalty and faithfulness. Being the height that I am, I find it hard to find women who see the value in being with me as I would in them. I can admit, I really don't have much to offer. But I've seen selfish people with a lot less to offer in happy relationships. This isn't a question and I don't really want any advice. I'm just venting because I'm a little annoyed. I'm annoyed that I probably won't find something like that until I'm in my 30's. I'm annoyed that when I do, it'll be with someone with a different moral ground than me. I'm annoyed that people say I'm the problem or I need to change. And again, there's some things I do need to change. But they want me to change who I am which causes this bitter anger inside of me. I'm tired of being alone, but I'm coming to realization that's when I'll be happiest. It hurts because I've always gave myself hope in a fable. "Oh there's 7 billion people in the world. You'll find someone like you who loves you as much as you love them." I didn't understand that the chances are extremely slim and my standards would prove to make that difficult. I'm a little twisted, but I'm happy with who I am as a person. It just sucks that I can't find a girl like me who I can be happy with and spend my time. Whether it's my physical appearance or the way my mind works. I'm not at all what women are interested in and even when they are, they lose interest fast. I now realize I'd be happier alone.

Welcome to the board TJ! Unfortunately attraction is a strange beast and people don't "care" about what we have to offer unless they're attracted to us. If you have high standards, then you have to be able to deal with women's high standards. You should however never let go of your standards because ultimately, you need to be happy.

Nothing wrong with having standards. I for one need to be withsome who is open minded, not a huge drinker, no drugs, and can't be into going out all the time. That isn't even touching on appearance.

There is nothing wrong with being alone. I was alone for a good 6 years and it really lead me to find myself and undersstand what I want and need in a relationship, but also it taught me how to love myself.

If you can't be happy with someone, you have to learn to be happy alone. Maybe by being alone you will attract the type of person you want/need. High standards make dating hard, but it doesn't mean it is impossible.

I was told this by someone before. He said that being alone allows you to really get to know yourself and when you like yourself you will attract your reflection.
