Hey all, I have never had a relationship of my own, but I aspire to have one and this seems like a safe space to come out about this issue.

I have been in close friendships with members of the opposite sex, and these people would not have made good partners because of there being too many fundamental differences between us. While these situations are few in number, I more commonly find myself uncertain about the potential of a potential romantic partner. I am straight and not bi-curious, and I have high standards.

These standards, while keeping me away from women who would only eventually dragging me down, have acted in a way contradictory to the way that they are intended. My parents are in a marriage where they have fundamentally different worldviews, and they are not that happy together. They fought a lot when I was younger, and it's universally known that such fighting has made its impact on me. Not wanting to end up in a similar situation, I feel a need to screen potential mates for the potential to be too different.

What this has led me to do is turn away too many women based on flaws with the reasoning that I can do better. But can I? How much can I sacrifice high standards and still be in a fulfilling relationship with somebody? I get a nagging feeling that it'll turn out bad if I try, and I don't honestly feel like these actions and feelings are normal and/or helpful. Anybody ever had a situation like this or know somebody who has? Thanks.
<bot>: High dating standards, have turned almost every woman I've met away, parents fought a lot when I was little, am I delusional or at least somewhat normal?
