Is being picky a bad thing?

I (26F) have been single for about 8 years now, but I really want a relationship.

Over the past few years, I've met plenty of amazing guys, but something always stops me. I realized its not that I am afraid of commitment or anything because all I want is a real relationship, but I am picky about the guys. I've been in love once before and I feel like I compare my feelings to that time and I think it ultimately prevents me from going further than a few dates with a guy. I'll like notice things I don't like and then say "eh he's not my type". but I am also not going to force myself to like someone more than I do.

Idk it seems like being picky about who you date/hook up with is both a good thing and a bad thing, but I really do think that is the reason why I have not found someone yet.

pros – I'm not settling for the sake of being in a relationship

cons- I can't for the life of me find someone to like

is this bad? am I doing anything wrong? any advice would help thanks!
