In a recent interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 LA, Selena Gomez candidly discussed her views on relationships and offered insights into the qualities she seeks in a potential partner. The 31-year-old artist shared her thoughts on the concept of standards and high maintenance in relationships, shedding light on her own perspective and personal growth.
Addressing the topic of standards in relationships, Gomez remarked, “I think I have standards, and I think I live in a world right now where boys confuse standards with high maintenance.” Her comments touched on the complexities of modern dating dynamics, where genuine expectations might sometimes be misconstrued. This theme resonated with her new song “Single Soon,” in which she playfully refers to herself as “a little high maintenance, but I am worth a try.”
Gomez elaborated on the song’s lyrics, explaining, “The line was really fun because I’m not ashamed to say, ‘I actually require X, Y, and Z for you to be with me.'” This statement aligned with the attitude of the song and authentically reflected her personal stance on relationships.
During the interview, Gomez also unveiled the qualities she values in a potential partner. She shared, “He has to be cool… Not cool in the sense that people think you’re cool.” Her emphasis on kindness, a sense of humor, and genuine respect for her family and those around him showcased her desire for a compassionate and understanding partner.
Discussing her current relationship status, Gomez confirmed that she is currently single and content with this phase of her life. She expressed her intention to focus on self-acceptance and personal growth, stating, “I just want to be happy with who I am so that whenever that person comes into my life, I can just have them add on to me instead of being this insecure, you know, person that I normally used to be.”
Gomez’s openness about her journey towards self-discovery and empowerment highlights her commitment to maintaining healthy relationship standards while prioritizing her own well-being and happiness. Her insights offer a relatable perspective on the complexities of modern relationships and the importance of self-love in navigating the dating landscape.
