Due to mental health issues in my 20s I never managed to finish college. Basically I studied, got depressed, dropped out, sat at home, got a restaurant job, studied again, got depressed again, dropped out again, sat at home again, got a retail job, and here I am now.
Mentally I'm mostly fine now, but I can't afford to get into higher education again. Also I still live in a shared apartment. On my salary, getting my own place is impossible where I'm at.
So where does that leave my dating life? I never dated in my 20s because of everything. I still don't have a large friend group and I rarely meet new people. Of course I tried Tinder, which was just a massive disappointment. If I got a match, the conversation would just run cold after talking about my current job and living situation. I know I'm not gonna find anyone there, and if I were to meet someone irl I bet they're just gonna react the same.
What do I have going for me then? Well, when I think about it... I'm a friendly guy, I'd do anything for my friends, I'm in good shape physically, I love cooking, I'm a walking encyclopedia of random facts, I learn languages just for fun, I'm learning to draw, I'm good at video games. I do feel I'm doing as best I can with what I have. But it doesn't overcome everything, at least dating-wise. What girl would even be impressed with any of this?
Am I just gonna have to learn to live with a nonexistent dating life? Or is there some hope, maybe?
