I think that you should not budge when it comes to your standards. (If they're too high or weird, you will probably never find anyone, but unless you're not one of those, everything's ok.) If you enter a relationship and you're not entirely satisfied from the beginning, odds are that's it's not going to get easier when the glamour of the infatuation fades away. For instance, I lowered my demands due to desperation, and I had a horrible 9 months lasting relationship. After that I actually made a list of what I actually wanted in a partner and never strayed from it (and that's how Scruffy and I are now in a highly functioning relationship). There were firm demands (such as have own friends and hobbies) and some demands I could compromise on (such as height and money). It's not up to anyone else to say what you should want in a partner, you are the one who (potentially) will live with him/her for the rest of your life. And finally, no Heir, you do not demand too much or too silly 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
