Do you have higher expectations for yourself, or for the other person?
Like... in a boyfriend/girlfriend, client/provider, mister/mistress, relationship........
do you try to smell better than the person you're meeting?
do you try to taste better than them?
look better or dress to impress?
have a better attitude than them?
When it comes down to it, do you set the bar high for yourself, or do you expect the other person to have their shit together?

To this day, I will shop for the best smelling perfumes and I dress to perfection and my makeup looks professionally done. I will check myself in the mirror until I walk out the door!
I make it a point to provide the best date every single date. Even if I've had a bad day, nobody would ever know. But, I also want my date/boyfriend to have his shit together too. It bugs the hell out of me if he don't. Soooo, I guess ultimately, I try to be better than the next person but I am picky, so I also expect a lot from those I accompany myself with.
