Is it normal if i think i'm doomed cause of my preferences?

So when it comes to relationships and my "type" of man, I have pretty high standards meaning...healthy and normal in today's world. First I like a man who has goals, knows what he wants and is actually doing something to get it. Along with that, someone smart and masculine. Second I like having a relationship where were both not always together, both working on our own things, yet still know we love each other we just don't have to put it out there for validation, of course affectionate and non stop sex. In a way I'm kind of describing my last relationship and I am determined to get it back with time.

But for the meantime, I feel like my standards are gonna leave me hanging because I want something so easy so simple so flexible while majority of people nowadays have these trivial matters that impact their behavior in relationships. For ex, if you guys don't talk for a few days then this a problem cause it obviously means you're not interested right? Wrong. What if we simply don't feel a need to talk every freaken day? Another ex, if he doesn't treat me like a princess and priority then leave him...why? What if he's busy and working hard to get what he wants? These aren't excuses I'm making for him this is reality. But many don't have this mindset and it MUST mean something. So far I haven't met one single guy who turns me on like my ex did because one I simply don't find them romantically attractive and two they try way too hard to impress me and that's a big turn off for me because 1) if we did get together that impression won't last and 2) clingyness is never attractive at least to a reasonable person. So you see I just want something real, common sense, simple, etc something that people today find "problematic" cause were not full of ourselves. I feel doomed cause I'm not gonna settle for something I don't want and it seems like the majority is what I don't want.

    Not sure if you're in denial or not... but here goes. The problem is, you're not over your ex-boyfriend.

    It doesn't matter how long you've been out that relationship or whether you two are JUST friends or not; the facts are, you're basing your future relationships on a previous one with a specific type of man.

    You got to understand that it's nearly impossible to recreate that relationship, because what made that relationship great was the guy you were dating. The only way you can have that back is to date that same man again, otherwise you got to move on. I'm not saying you should settle, but just have the normal preferences like good hygiene, secure, has goals, etc; but don't plan out how the relationship should be, because like women, each man expresses their feelings in their own comfortable way.

    It's tough being stuck on something you once had and want it back desperately; believe me it's something almost everyone can relate to, but don't let it consume you and disguise it as another problem.

    • Well Im not over him that Im not in denial of. He is my ideal guy and maybe I met him too early and hope once everything is more stable and established, we can be together in a better way

    I'm the same way with what I want thats why I'm attracted to guys that are a little older than me they seem to have it together more than guys my age. Good luck in your search.

    • Yup he was older and more mature and had everything together in eyes so the fact that he wanted more felt amazing

    I love women who have so much standards but yet don't have it themselves.

    Reading this gave me headache and that sounds what you are in real life, unless you look like a supermodel no guy is putting up with you lol.

    If you two love each other enough then "clingyness" sounds fine to me
