Bruh! Same boat. In 2019 I had a receding hairline and the same cut as that Charlottesville douchebag that was plastered everywhere.
Now I just gotta shave it. Pretty pissed at the alt-right for ruining the one of the very few haircuts I could pull off (amongst MANY other things).
A relationship should definitely be built on a foundation of companionship, healthy emotional bonding, and love. Going out to eat, movies, concerts, trips, and whatever else is nice and healthy but that definitely shouldn't be the conerstone of any relationship.
That said, if someone isn't able to pay even half of their rent, they probably shouldn't be trying to relationship. They should be focusing on trying to get to place of financial independence so that they can be at the very minimum self sustaning in the relationship. A good potential partner would probably be more impressed with low debt and stability over one's ability to rack up debt and impulsiveness.
As far as the herd goes..... everyone is poor these days. The apps, like most social media are all smoke and mirrors. So don't compare yourself to what you see online, it'll drive you crazy! And understand that when you're going on a date everyone is putting their best foot forward (hopefully).
SOMEDAYSOON, BROTHER, YOU WILL ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM! AROOOOOOOO!
Didn't they both go to Ivy League schools? Just sayin'.
Praise Bob, indeed!
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS! If people won't listen to Jesus, maybe they can listen to his modern day apostle Fred Rogers when he said "I like you just the way you are."
