I have to rant. The other day I realized that my standards are impossibly high, and that, not shyness, is the reason I've never seriously dated anyone. I can tick off a very long list of everything I want some potential girlfriend to be. Mainly I want someone who doesn't find me weird and would want to hang out with me a lot. But I make most of that judgement based on how they react to me when I talk to them as a friend. So far the only success I've had is when I go out on a blind date and the girl clearly wanted to end with something exciting, and even then I was thinking to myself "she probably won't last too long with me if we date."

I'm constantly imagining that there has to be someone else at my college who has the same problem. How would I ever meet someone like that? A dating site? I dunno.
