I'm taking a break from the dating scene and I'm reevaluting things and trying to polish myself,so that when I put myself back out there I can be a good catch. but i feel like I dont have anything to offer. Yes, I am college educated and have a full time job, but I just dont feel like I have anything to offer in terms of a relationship. Any tips on how to make things better in this department?
I'm just about to finish college. Hoping to get into graduate school. In the meantime, just working a meaningless job. But beyond that? Nothing. Just another face in a sea full of faces.
Advice?
Just realize that perhaps you don't have to be a "good catch" or "offer anything". He/she should want to be with you because he/she likes who you are.
You guys, life isn't just about your jobs. What about your hobbies and other interests? In college you must have studied subjects outside your major that caught your interest. Have you pursued any of those interests in your spare time? Any intellectual curiosity that's motivating you to expand on your knowledge base? Political interests? Sports--hiking, boating, climbing? Have you travelled outside the country? Do you enjoy reading fiction or non-fiction? Science documentaries? Art, music? On dates you can talk about anything and everything that interests you, and that makes you interesting. The other thing about dating is to take an interest in your date, and ask her how she spends her leisure time and what her hobbies are.
I agree with findly's posts. It's hard to find a match. Just because it doesn't work out, doesn't mean you're a dud. I've heard dating experts say you have to meet 100 people before you find 1 that's a reasonably good match. There's a lot of sifting and sorting that is part of the process. Join groups that share your interests: hiking or other weekend sports groups, environmental groups, meet-up groups.

This. And also if you go around with the attitude that you have nothing to offer, everyone else is going to believe you.
