If I've started to get lonely and I feel a lack of romantic affection, should I lower my standards or wait?

I am pretty sure I would be more fulfilled if I had a girlfriend. But after my last breakup which was a year ago I decided to have higher standards in terms of personality.

What are your standards

[Asker]

A certain degree of impulse control, low body count (from relationships, not one night stands or friends with benefits), not flirty and attention-seeking behaviour with most men, no male friends she keeps in the friendzone for validation, no preferences which a man can't control, such as height (I'm 5'11, so I'm not saying it because it take it personally) etc

How do u determine a man's in the friendzone and not actually her friend

If he shows signs of attraction and flirts with her and chases her, waiting to get a chance to sleep with her
