And they dated for 4 years, why break up now when he's moving up fast in the career ladder?
They have no chemistry, or are not compatible? Being in your 20's is the best time to enjoy love and each other as you figure out how to build your life. Why make it so serious?

Have sex with her, see if she likes it and go from there. Please don't overthink this, life isn't all that hard.

As a potential friend, yes. She has always been nice to me and has always helped me with things related to uni work.

But I can't date anyone until the day I have a substantial monthly payment in my bank account. Besides, I take a med everyday to control my anxiety so I'm not really the best catch.

Ok, then why the concern about her motives?
She can't make you date her if you don't want to.

Pretty sad.
Financial stability is the essential part of a relationship...it's not going anywhere without it, let's face the truth.

Because it is serious. It's extremely serious. It's actually one of the most important decisions that one could make in their lives.

Of course, that's not to say that you can't enjoy yourself while you're doing it.

This is true, but you should both be financially stable. Find a way to become financially stable AND find a mate that is also financially stable. I recommend not simply settling for the first woman that is interested in you.

I've known many people with their heads in the clouds that believe that "love conquers all".

Yeah, good luck with that.

It A part of a relationship. You make it seem like it's the ONLY thing.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. Carry on.
