When it comes to international dating, being high maintenance is often mistaken for having standards and vice versa. In fact, just yesterday, I was asked if having high standards could be taken as him being difficult to date. This is a great question because some people think they have high standards, but in fact, they are just high-maintenance. You’d better have high standards without being high-maintenance!
Different people have different standards.
Realistically, people have different standards. Effective communication can mean sending each other a few text messages every day. It can also mean having a date night once a week or writing a romantic poem to each other.
Say you start wondering whether you are high-maintenance or whether you simply have high standards. The best way to find out would be to go to people who know you really well for frank advice. These people should tell you the entire truth rather than a version that makes you feel good or look good.
When you are in a romantic relationship, you’d better ask yourself, “Are my needs getting met in this relationship?”. Don’t ask this question on a bad day. You have to ask yourself this question on a good day. If it’s still hard on a good day, that’s a red flag.
In terms of international dating, I highly encourage you to prioritize compatibility and choose a woman who makes it relatively easy to get your fundamental needs met. Meanwhile, you should be willing to compromise on less important aspects because perfection does not exist.
If you are not sure about your relationship, you can ask yourself this question. “Do we keep having the same conversation repeatedly without a solid solution or a real response?”. Be sure to let your partner know your frustration before giving it up entirely.
Jack is in a long-term relationship where having important conversations about certain issues makes his life even worse. That means he is in the wrong relationship. As a result, he is considering being single again and then he will explore international dating.
Is it okay to be single for a very long time?
Personally, I think being single for a very long time is totally fine. You can be single for as long as you need. There is nothing wrong with being single.
Moreover, don’t forget to ask yourself, “Why am I single? Am I holding myself back for the right reason? Or am I denying dating experiences that can add to my life?”
Please don’t be all-or-nothing about this. Life can’t be all about black-and-white thinking. There are different shades of grey! Be more open-minded & look at your life as well as this world from different perspectives.
When you are single, you can have certain experiences that make your life more interesting. Dating might be something you could try. Just don’t date a woman with whom you both definitely want completely different things in life.
