30F, queer/bisexual. I'll be the first to admit that I'm picky. While I don't care too much about looks or income, I do care about intelligence, depth, conversational skills, sense of humor, and hobbies/lifestyle. I'm an attractive, well-rounded, and educated person, and if I'm being honest I don't feel like my standards are beyond what I bring to the table.
That said, I feel like what I'm looking for doesn't really exist in my dating pool. So I'm wondering….what are things you thought you needed to be happy in a relationship that didn't actually end up being that big of a deal? Could be anything from looks to shared hobbies to a weird "ick" that you overcame.
