I'm a 28 year old guy who works a retail job despite graduating college years ago, still lives at home, and can't drive yet (but I'm working on it). I've been on a few dating apps (but mostly tinder) for around 4 years and got some matches but have never been on a date before. I'm open about my situation in my bio and I feel like that's probably why I'm not getting any dating success.
I can't imagine a woman would like me with my life that way it is currently. I feel like it's embarrassing and pathetic to be almost 8 years out of college and working a retail job that any teenager without experience could get and not putting my degree to use and having the career I actually want (video editor). I've had people on reddit tell me that too, which makes me feel like it's not just an insecurity I have, other people also think that.
I think I should probably wait until I can drive, have my own place and my ideal career before I start trying to get a girlfriend.
