I think it's time to let you all in on what's been bothering me lately. A few days ago I had a talk with some of my friends about how I'm going to be single forever because my standards are too high. I tried to explain to them that they weren't high, just sort of specific. I think it's from being cheated on in previous relationships and thinking you love someone only to find out that it probably wasn't real to begin with. I raise my standards to avoid any girl that reminds me of unfaithful ex's, but that usually cancels out any girl. My roommate pointed out that I could have slept with about three or four different girls in the last couple of months, but my standards stopped me from doing so. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the female body in all it's glory, but I also very much prefer to be in a relationship. Maybe it's from seeing my parent's relationship, they've been married 25+ years and it's one of the most perfect marriages I've ever seen. Maybe I'm just biased and am trying too hard to get that.
My question to you guys is, should I just settle for the next girl that comes along, or wait forever for the one perfect one that I may never find?

The cheating can put a huge rift into your dating life, sucks badly man.
And yeah, stop looking have fun and maybe casually date. If sex happens, it happens. It took me losing my fiancee, well complicated situation not engaged anymore but dating now, to see what it takes and what I need.
As for your friends, tell them it is some one to spend the REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH. They have to meet high standards or it won't work.
