I used to work in retail for many years. I’m surprised your store even has baggers since mine has eliminated that position ages ago. There were plenty of men there who were in relationships or married. Although, most of those guys worked in grocery dept. or meat dept. where the job paid more.

And are you willing and prepared to be a kind, caring man who is sweet as sugar to the woman you're in a relationship with?

Are you looking for someone to split finances with, or someone to be in a romantic relationship with? The two don't have to be mutually-exclusive, but I daresay a fair number of people would consider the former to be a benefit of the latter, not the impetus to gain the latter.

This. I'd also like to hear more about your degree and what it's in, and then we can talk about how you might use to find a better job than as a grocery bagger, unless you have other circumstances keeping you from other jobs.

Someone might not have a problem with your salary, but could well have a problem with it if you can't support yourself. So, looking into how you might take advantage of job opportunities that will allow you to become in some fashion financially-independent will be beneficial to you and to the prospect of romantic relationships.

You don't love her but you are considering continuing a relationship with her? Does she know you don't love her?

See, here are two problems I am seeing that might be part of your troubles. In the first part I quoted above, you state you want a woman who will be good to you but you don't say what you bring to the table to be good to her. It's possible it was only an oversight, but I need to bring it up because there are many men who expect a woman to be fabulous to them with nary a thought (or in the case of some, nary a care) what she will get out of the arrangement. I'm hoping that's not you, but if it is... you're going to need to change your thinking to be in a relationship.

Second problem is that from some of your other postings in this thread, I can't tell if you're looking for a relationship of affection, or just convenience (you want someone to share expenses with. You're with someone you admit you don't love. Etc.).

Neither of those things are something most people want to base a relationship on.

So is the problem that that sort of job is hard to find? Have you tried industries that are somewhat related? Or other jobs that may not require a certain degree and a ton of experience, even if they're not related?
