Decided to drop the girl who I went out with

Nothing wrong with having standards you did good there, did not waste any time on a bad match up for you
Quality men are picky
Imo you should start thinking about moving if tou are looking for a faithful ltr Some social enviroment or up bringing are just not good for finding quality women.

I'm actually going to be leaving the area sometime around a year from now, I'm not originally from here by the way.

I've had this discussion with many people in my life (family, friends my age, older friends, etc.) and many of them have even told me that they don't think that I am going to find what I am looking for in this area. I'm a high quality and respectable guy, so naturally I'm going to seek a woman that is on par with me.
