High Standards vs. Picky Daters
Dating and finding love is difficult for picky daters. Advice from the Matchmaker April Davis.

Are You A Perfectionist Or Just Picky?
Do you have tendencies aligned to that of a perfectionist? You may find yourself aggravated over every last, small detail, and expect your potential significant other to be just as immaculate. Though these are wonderful qualities for your professional and private life, but what happens when it becomes a little too much and overbearing?
Especially with millions on dating websites, it’s hard for you to find your one and only. There may be minute aspects of the person you are examining that turn you off, which only allows you to continuously drop people without giving them a chance, and leaves you with hardly any options. Even when you go on a date with them, you find yourself inspecting and judging every imperfection you find, and decide to drop them and be done with them. If you continue these antics of harshly judging your potential matches, you will be stuck in an unstoppable bind of trying to search for a perfect individual that does not exist. If you truly want to find love in your life, you are going to have to drop your impossibly unrealistic standards so that you are open to other singles and hopefully find someone you can have stable romance with.

Having high standards is essential to every man and woman - they deserve the person who is best for them. However, you’re known as a picky dater when you can’t seem to accept any flaws about them. Do not cross off someone because of a small difference of taste between the two of you; you never know, you just might fall in love with them. No one is absolutely perfect, and your date might even see imperfections about you - the difference is, they accept it. That’s what love is all about - maintaining a love and passion for an individual, regardless of how clear their faults are.
An attractive face and physique that is completely your ideal is temporarily satisfying, just like all other superficial parts of life. Of course, we all secretly have imagined a general idea of our perfect match; however, perfection does not parallel the reality. What really matters are the cute inside jokes you have solely between you two, and the quirky habits you two share, and the memories you two have formed together. Those factors are what really matters, and helps you maintain that lasting, loving relationships. Anything other than mainly their personality is irrelevant, and there is so much more beyond the outline of an appearance. It is also guaranteed that once you are happy as your own, single person, you won’t need to find such perfect qualities in your soulmate, because you are just as satisfied with your life as it is.
