Wish I would've started dating around 17-20 like normal people! I'm having a good time now and I don't really regret my past, I had a blast.. However, I wish I was more confident back then when it came to dating!
Looking back, I'm not sure why It never happened.. I am painfully shy but I was also very popular in my late teens to my mid twenties. Mostly with other dudes at the ski resorts though, I had women flirt with me a lot back then but I'd stupidly grin and look for a exit due to my fear of talking to women. Only time I could ever follow through with women is when I was completely loaded..
My 23 year old Nephew has more dating experience than I do.
The funny thing is I always feel like I'm behind the curve by around 5 years. Stuff I should have done at 13-14 years old, I did at 17-18. Stuff I'm doing right now at 23 years old, is stuff I should have been doing around 17-18 years old.
I just can’t get over the fact that I do not have it all together and I am 30 years old. Sure I have a job, do not make much $19.00 an hour will not feed a family. I do not do anything for fun because I cannot afford to do so.
I feel like I am not successful at all. I'm constantly tortured by a sense of failure. I feel like I've failed in terms of what my potential is. There's all these things I've ****ed up. If I had only stayed focused, I would have been further along. It's this constant feeling of not having achieved enough. I don't think I've achieved my potential because I haven't worked that hard and I haven't found the right angles.
The desire to feel like I am not a loser drives me. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing—to be motivated by a fear of hating yourself, but it helps.
As far ad dating goes yes i am far behind I wish dated in high school and all that.
There is nothing i can do about it now all I can do is move forward.
I find myself behind the curve somewhat, but not 10 years or even 5. I think my brother's death played a major role. I'm the same age as your nephew and while I don't feel I'm that far behind, I probably am a little.

People feed families on a lot less than 19/hr. If you can't afford to do anything and you're making 19/hr you probably have some spending issues, or living in LA, SF or NY

lets just say one paycheck goes to rent and the rest goes to bills and paying for college.

Get a roommate. Here in NYC, you would still be clearing over $2K/month. If you're splitting rent and utilities, you'll have at least some money left over.

I do not want a roommate I am 30 you cant have a roommate for the rest of my life. If i was not in college i would be working two jobs 60 to 80 hours a week.
Woman want guys that have goals, ambitions and an education it is a most. Working retail is a job not a career.
I do not know how people date that have dead end jobs my hat goes of to them .
