Partners are something you ought to be choosy about considering most people just have one at a time, or at least that's the ideal! Anyway, if you're not unhappy, you shouldn't care about what your friends think. Maybe you just want to be single for now. You could even be an eternal bachelorette if you want! Maybe you could be more open-minded in terms of giving people a chance, but you shouldn't tolerate being mistreated or deceived...be very picky about character most of all!

Keeping an open mind is good - Maybe you prefer dark haired guys, but don't shove away a great guy just because he's a blonde or even because he has a color of hair or eyes you really just don't like. However, don't settle , especially for what someone else thinks that you should have. You are the one and only you. You are the only one that can define your happiness. Not having a boyfriend in a long time isn't that strange, and your friends should simply.. well, mind their own. I've had the problem of getting with a guy and being really interested, only to find as time went on he wasn't who I thought. People will judge me for this but I don't care. I've generally learned to make a list as time goes.. Not of discretions but of the likes, dislikes, can tolerate, will tolerate and WILL NOTS. If the list of the WILL NOTS and TOLERATES grows to be favorably longer than the list of likes... Discussions are made and usually I end up parting ways with that person. That doesn't mean that they're bad... it just shows incapatibility and such. If someone's lifestyle choices and habits are favorably different than yours, chances are that it won't work out. Why compromise your happiness?

Well....it isn't BAD that you are picky when it comes to men...you should be--don't settle! BUT defeniatly keep an open mind...and dont let looks rest too much on your mind. If you like blondes...don't turn away from every dark haired guy that comes along.
Think about things you are willing to compromise on and things you aren't...REALLY think about what is most important to you. And feel free to share on here if it helps! :)

Hello,
Well in a way, it is really good to be choosy. Because when the right guy comes a long, and if you think he is the one, you will cherish him and love him in a true manner. Don't just pick any guy, pick the one who you think is best. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
