Standards

I get the question "Why are you not dating anyone?" from tons of friends and family members all the time! Everytime my aunt calls me thats the first thing she asks! And my answer is always STANDARDS!  I have high standards for relationships and if you dont meet them or are close to them then im not giving you my time in a relationship...simple as that. I was taught through past relationships and watching other peoples relationships about how a guy should treat a woman. Im from the South, and us southern women dont put up with guys bullshit, at least not in my family. We raise our boys to be gentlemen and our girl to be ladies. Simple! So heres my list of standards, to high? or not high enough?
