vulnerability with those you trust the most.
A very important piece of dating advice is to not decide whether or not you like a person until you have had at least a few dates with them. By giving your new dates a chance, you just mind find that you judge them less as you get to know them more. You may even find that dating is becoming more enjoyable as well!
If you are too picky, you will miss out on the benefits that a long-term relationship can provide. This is not to say that you need a long-term relationship in order to be happy. Long-term relationships are not the "be all, end all" for many people, however, if a long-term relationship is what you desire, then being too picky may have negative consequences on your goals.
You are entitled to find a relationship or a mate that suits you. If you have not found that special person yet, keep looking until he or she comes along. Don't give up or get discouraged. If you're not sure if you are the picky type, think about the following statements. If you agree with them, you just might be a little too picky.
1. Everyone you date has an irritating laugh or voice.
2. You have broken up with someone over things that they have done when they were sleeping or just sitting there quietly.
3. You can't stand the way your date eats. If the noises your date makes when he or she is eating sends you into a tailspin, you might be too picky.
4. You decline more dates than you have actually been on.
5. You don't like your date's name.
6. You have already decided you won't go on a second date with this person even before you've gone on the first date.
7. You don't like his or her career choice.
8. The way he or she says the word "milk" makes you physically ill.
9. You can't remember your date's name, yet you remembered the amount of times he or she visited the bathroom.
10. You feel that all the good prospects are already taken.
11. When you first meet your date, do you start by thinking that they have a beautiful smile, or that their ears are enormous?
If you haven't had a substantial relationship for quite a while, it is only natural that you would wonder why. You may have even wondered if the person of your dreams is even alive. You may also question your standards and expectations.
There are so many amazing single people out there, and as my mother used to say, "there's a cover for every pot!" People who complain about a lack of quality people to date often have their expectations set unreasonably high. Although you should never settle for a person that you aren't attracted to, or that you do not particularly like, re-evaluating your expectations may help broaden your scope of interesting and available people to date.
Another sage piece of dating advice for the picky person is to not go into a date with preconceived expectations. Do not expect your date to be "the one." Simply hope to have a good time with the person, and if it works out, it works out. If not, don't fret.
There will be others. A good exercise to practice is try going out with someone who you do not consider your type, and commit to having a good time. You may be surprised that you had such a pleasant experience. If not, you got yourself some additional dating practice.
If you do not like the type of person that you are attracting, try changing your own self-image. We generally gravitate to people who are similar to ourselves, so if you do not want to attract a certain type of person, change your image to reflect the complete opposite of the types you typically attract.
People do, and should have a list of non-negotiable factors that come into play when searching for a life partner. This is not being picky, it's simply knowing what you want and what you are most comfortable with. Although non-negotiable variables should be considered, try not to include physical characteristics to your list. Being too picky in the "looks" department is a recipe for loneliness.
Sure, it's nice to be physically attracted to
