<p>Just curious, what are your standards for dating? Are they different for something that you’d date vs. someone that you’d marry? Do they align with your parents? How strict are you on you standards?</p>

<p>Haha… There have been a bunch of CC threads revolving dating, and I guess I’ll just add to the pile. It’s definitely interesting to hear a variety of views on the topic.</p>

<p>Eh, I don’t date.</p>

3

<p>Well, what would make you want to date someone?</p>

4

<p>Well, to be the stereotypical CCer, I haven’t dated yet, but I have rejected guys so I obviously I have standards :slight_smile: I think a main thing is that they have to take care of themselves. Really all of my standards come back to that point.</p>

5

<p>That tells me something about your cc name.</p>

<p>I would have to know them really well so that I’d know their general philosophy on life, and I wouldn’t want to date the kind of person who would take the relationship too seriously as if we were going to get married someday or something. And they’d probably have to be really shy, because I’m really shy.</p>

7

<p>Although I don’t plan to date in near future, but let’s see.
A girl
Good humored
Won’t emphasize on “hook up”
And most importantly, show certain level of common sense. Common sense means not dumb and willing to take relationship seriously. Not like I want to pass my time with you and after that i am going to marry someone else.</p>

8

<p>I wouldn’t want to be committed to anyone unless I really really liked them. It would be too much effort/take up too much time I’m not willing to spend on someone I only feel meh about.</p>

9

<p>My one standard is that they must be willing to date me.</p>

10

<p>^ basically.</p>

11

<p>^^ You think that’s your standard until someone actually asks you LOL.</p>

12

<p>I’m a guy so no one would ask me.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>This is brilliant.</p>

14

<p>I have to feel comfortable with them</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>Contrary to popular belief, it’s terrible. How come you are going to date with someone who doesn’t want to got to date with you?</p>

<p>I’m with @typeakid! I’ve rejected guys plenty of times. </p>

<p>I have really high standards. They aren’t too hard to meet, but they’re in place so I don’t end up with someone who doesn’t make me happy. </p>

<p>Standards:

  • have some kind of ambition in life, I don’t care what it is.
  • likes my friends, I like his friends.
  • likes and respects my parents.
  • isn’t quiet and boring after I get to know him.
  • let’s be honest here, being physically attractive (to some extent) is helpful.
  • he is kind</p>
