Everyone has relationship standards. Would you enter into a relationship with someone you knew was addicted to heroin? Each person has their limit, a threshold for behaviour, traits, and values, below which they are unwilling to tolerate a partner.

Setting dating standards is a good thing because it defines what you want in the relationship. However, when these standards are set too high, it might make you stay single for some time before finding your soul mate.

Here are signs that your dating standards are too high.

1. You compare everyone to your ex

Using your ex as a measuring standard for everyone you meet in your life is wrong. It is hard to compare people with different personalities and traits. Dismissing every person that comes in your life because they are not like your ex will make it hard for your relationship to work out.

2. You say no to every date

If you do not remember the last time you went out on a date, your dating standards are probably too high. Sometimes you might even reject people before even seeing them or hanging out with them.

Not everyone might be worth your time but give it a try. You do not know what is going to happen afterwards.

3. You have never had a long term relationship

If you have never been committed in a long term relationship, your ego must be running the show. There are highs and lows in a relationship and if yours does not endure the trial of times, your standards might be too high.

You always find fault in others and complain that they are not good enough. This would make it impossible for you to find a lifetime partner.
