I keep saying this cause it's a take a lot of people gloss over. I haven't dated in a while because I'm too broke to add anything else to my budget, dive bars included. Dating takes time and money, and if I get more of either, I'm using it to better my situation before thinking about dating.
In a time where real wealth is dwindling for most young men, I can imagine I'm not alone on this.
Life advice from an old'ish dude: find a girl when you are broke. She will always love you, not the money. She will also love you in hardship and she won't care if you go for a walk or watch Netflix because it's cheaper. :)
Going through the same problem, I was in uni during COVID, when it hit many things in my life changed or left so I shut down and unfortunately couldn't complete my degree in the end. Now I'm just job hunting and rebuilding and while I do feel pretty lonely at times, I realise I can't even consider talking to a girl romantically until I can rebuild myself (my own choice). Luckily I have this close female friend who i can talk to makes me feel a little less alone
