I think I'm always going to be alone, and I feel like a jerk because my standards for women are so specific.The longest relationship I have had is 4 months and it was back in high school. I have never considered any to be "serious" relationships. For the last 5 years, I have avoided getting into any relationship at all because I really don't see the point in getting involved if I don't honestly believe she will be my future wife. I just can't fall for a girl unless both the personality and the looks are right, and I have passed up relationships with women who have one of either but I have yet to meet one with both. I feel so shallow when I avoid a relationship because of looks, but the romance just isn't there. Am I just to selfish to ever have a serious relationship, or am I right to wait for "the one"?

Maybe you should just let your standards be a bit less specific, it sounds like you already have a picture in your head of what your future wife is going to be like, but love doesnt work that way. You cant force yourself to fall inlove with someone so even if you do find your perfect woman it might just not click. You should find someone who you are attracted to and give yourself a chance to fall for them, afterall love at first sight is rare.
