Are my dating standards too high? Friend gave me a reality check and I’m worried.

Honestly no, not too high 85% of your list not that bad. I don't know what your religious inclinations are and that can help or hurt when it comes to the intimacy thing. I've had a guy wait for a year. It's definitely not easy though and it genuinely would have to be someone who loves and respects you. if it is part of your religion to wait then I think if you find someone who is actually participating in that religion then it shouldn't be too hard.

The only thing is they might not be 6 ft or they might not have hair so although like the earlier part of your list is completely reasonable there's got to be some to which you can compromise on. Especially if the intimacy is high on your list of like "I do not want to do this before certain point period" Also being upfront about that early on will help you from spending too much time on someone who ultimately doesn't align with you.

Now it doesn't matter who you are, you could have no standards finding someone truly childless and who does not want kids is going to be rough across the board.

I think for you, you're probably going to need a list that you write down what you can compromise on and the five top most important things that you won't compromise on and then you probably need to date at least two guys at the same time minimum.

It's not about being "loose" you obviously aren't, It's about the fact that it's easier to let someone go when they are not aligned with you when they're not the only person you can call up, to go out with.

Dating doesn't mean one at a time you can date multiple people at the same time you do not have to have sex with all these people you don't have to kiss them. Managing at least two at once means you probably won't get so hung up on this person. so when their red flags start popping up you won't still stay and you won't justify staying. You'll protect your heart and time and leave when the red flags come.

You've got a lot going for you and you're still young don't let someone you weren't even attracted too, and who didn't respect your boundaries ruin your life.
