So after long conversations with friends both IRL and online, and being asked "Why are you single?" I realized I am too happy with my life. I don't troll bars, I don't cling on, I would rather have the company of friends.

This poses a question in my tiny little head then.

Do you have to be despirate to find someone? (No offense to my friends who are in relationships, they are great and awesome) but I think I have to lower my standards to "be" in a relationship.

Does anyone else think this way?

The real question is would you rather be the way you are because of too much thought or would you rather rather feel this way because you thought too little...

sometimes i wonder if anyones truely into till death do us part.thats i what i want true devotion is that even available anymore?

I know what you mean pretty lady. No you dont have to. My idea is you have to find 2 people who can live with each others faults cause nobodys perfect.

lower your standards? no

just be open to different ideals..

i don't think you're lowering your standards by being in a relationship..however, being open to different things, persepectives n' such is a good thing..

if you're lowering your standards, then you're settling for something you're not at all looking for..and thats bad bad bad lol

Interesting question.

I think there are those people who simply want to be in a relationship and will settle for less than they need or want just to not be alone.

However.... it is not so much a matter of being desperate. It is how much effort you put forth and what your expectations are. If you expect every date to be the one? That might make things hard. [I know you don't, btw]

Lily~ I am quite confident that when the right guy comes along you will know it and you will not have to settle at all. He'll just ring your bell in all the right places and it will seem natural.

Try " Mutual Match" Lower your standards & meet someone today!!

Lower your standards? Settle for someone? Hell no!

It's better to be alone instead of being with someone that isn't right for you.

yep I just want a man to work around the house and bring home the bacon
oh and so lovin too

That's what I am saying though, i'm so content in my life that I don't feel the need to put forth any effort.

awww winx you wont lower for me?

why lower your standards to be in a relationship with someone that possibly does things you don't approve of? i wouldn't go that far for anyone.........this thing called unconditional love is a bunch of bunk to me.........only because it could cost you more than finances...to me, it only shows insecurity in one's self............only my opinion.........

Then don't... but keep going out on dates.

For you recent, yes, I would.

thats my problem lol

wooo just makin sure LOL

I don't wanna ..... I feel like I am a 22 year old guy who is perfectly content with hanging out with my friends...

I don't lower my standards for no one...

I will find someone who is on the same track as me pretty
much.

I have never considered myself to be desprate either. If
I was- I would of settled along time ago.

I too like being single. I am happy with who I am.
What I am looking for is someone who wants to enjoy together
the rest of this road trip- we call life...

Unconditional love does exist. I have lived it.

Dates can mean new friends....
