Does anyone else have concerns that their standards may be too high with regards to their "dream partner"? And that it may be unfair to the people they are matched with? I've always wondered that myself, if perhaps i'm being unfair to the girls I get matched with in that regard, when I compare them to my vision of my "dream girl", and i'm not really even talking about looks, even in just personality I have concerns that I might be expecting too much.

I think whether you expect too much depends a lot on what you have to offer in return. If you expect a lot but bring nothing much to the table, then you are expecting too much. If you do bring a lot to the table and want a partner who does the same - it's not too much and you'll find each other eventually.

I think I bring a lot to the table, personality wise at least, but i'm probably not the most objective judge

Aim high. That's what I say. And don't accept poor substitutes.

I believe a person can have what they want, if they are willing to focus their energy in that direction.

I agree with this quote. I also agree with DancingFool; as long as you're not expecting everything with nothing in return, then I think patience is the key. Don't give up, and don't settle for qualities less than that with which you can be truly happy. You'll find her. In the meantime, find contentment within yourself. If you are happy with you, then the right woman will be, as well.

I find myself thinking this often. I don’t know what to do about it, though.

I used to think just letting time pass would help, but it hasn’t seemed to.
