I'm 23, 24 in December, and I've been single for 2 years now (last and only relationship I've ever had ended in October 2011) and while I have had a hookup here and there, I find myself wanting to be in a meaningful relationship with a young woman my age

So here's a little about me, I'll try and highlight all my "good qualities"

-I am building a career for a major and stable company here in Florida, and plan on being a store manager in the future, though I only have an HS education, I can still get into mgmt through hard work and on the job training
-I live at home, BUT I am seeking a 2nd job so I can get my own apartment and move out
-I don't do any drugs, not even weed
-I don't use tobacco products
-I am a social drinker though
-Other than living at home, I buy my own groceries, pay my car payment, gas, cell phone, car insurance, etc
-I'm very outgoing, and easy to talk to
-I have a great sense of humor and am always trying to make people laugh
-I have a sense of adventure and exploration. I'm always going out around town checking out new restaurants, stores, bars, etc
-I treat everybody as I wish to be treated
-My idea of a romantic date would be a walk through a downtown park as the sun sets behind the skyline, where we could just chat about whatever, and hold hands
-I'm very old fashioned (ie I open doors for women, pull out chairs, etc) I guess chivalrous is the right word

And here is what I look for in a woman (people tell me my standards are too high btw)

-She has to be physically attractive to me, she doesn't have to look like Kate Upton, but at the same time, she cant look like Precious either. Sorry if that sounds douchy, but thats how I feel. I dont mind if a girl is even moderately overweight because I have met some overweight girls who ARE attractive. But there is a limit. A cute face is nice too
-She has to have a job! I don't care what kind of job it is, just have one, while I dont mind spoiling my girl and payingh for dates, I'm not made of money, This is a deal breaker
-She has to have a car. Why? I'm no chauffeur, and my car requires premium gas that's why. This is a deal breaker
-She doesn't do any drugs, DEFINITELY a deal breaker
-She has to have a sense of humor, most girls I meet have the sense of humor of a tree stump
-She has to be interested in more than material things and money.

So ladies in your 20s here is my question, do I have ANYTHING to offer Millenial women or am I just a dud and should quit right now? And are my standards too high

I do need to add this about myself. I was diagnosed with HIV last year, and I take medication now and the medicine has made it IMPOSSIBLE to spread even without protection according to my DR. However if I were in a relationship, I would be open and honest about my health as well as use condoms 100% of the time

Please

Quit basing your self-worth on the opinions of others.

All happiness and peace comes from within.

Once you get that, you'll be well on your way to the life you want

You're better off stating your bad qualities, then proceeding to work on those to make yourself a better person worthy of dating a woman who you want to date.

Wow, how sad.

All the more reason though for him to look for happiness from within.

His HIV is going to really diminish the number of women willing to date him, assuming he's upfront with every woman he dates. He also has to find them attractive, too, so that will probably eliminate more women from that pool.

Don't get discouraged, sweetie. Have you tried a niche website, like HIV positive dating? I honestly think you will find somebody who understand what you've been through and are going through.

Good luck to you. Please take care. ((((( )))))))

I have and have had no luck, most of the women on there are not local and MUCH older than I. The number of HIV+ women is very small

There have been plenty of HIV- women who wanted to date me inspite of my status. Why did I choose not to date them? I just didnt feel the same way that they did about me
