I am single and in my mid 30’s and I am feeling like the men who are keen on me just do not understand my love language… to be fair some of my friends would say my standards are too high.- Sharon
Have a listen to Sharon sharing her story with us below:
Sharon explains how she has been involved in relationships where she was taken care of in all aspects, especially financially.
Sharon goes on to explain her dating dilemma and what fish are currently in the sea.

Yes, I am an independent woman, but I still like being ‘taken care of’ and spoilt. Dating has been weird, I feel like men do not court women like how they used to in the past… everyone just seems to want to hook up, I need to be wooed and dined.- Sharon
Sharon does not believe she is being unrealistic. These expectations are based on what she believes she deserves.
The harsh reality is that very often people put in minimal effort, particularly when it comes to "wooing" a woman.

We took to Facebook to ask our listeners what their thoughts on Sharon's situation were....
The responses were as follows:
- Seriously as a woman reading this...I laughed. We ask to be treated as equals to men and then expect to be treated like a princess?
- Nope, you are just looking for someone with class and respect. Unless you're looking for just a "fun night", keep your standards high, if you don't it'll all crumble painfully in no time.
- You can only be a princess if he feels like a prince.
- Not unrealistic at all. Maybe its time some old school habits got renewed.…
- No you are not being unrealistic at all, I want the same thing. I would rather alone and happy than be miserable and with the wrong man.
Ultimately, it's each to their own, as long as you're happy with the situation you are in and feel somewhat fulfilled in your love life - that's all that matters.
Thank you, Sharon, for reaching out, we wish you the best in your journey...
