As the title says I’m broke and unemployed so I have a lot of free time when I’m not looking for jobs. Some of that time is spent on dating apps because I’m bored. I’ll match with women I find attractive and who try to initiate a conversation but I’m too insecure/lacking in confidence (and money) because of my situation. I suppose I can afford a cheap date but I don’t want to because I’m afraid of liking someone and them not reciprocating because I don’t have a job or a lot of money. (Also don’t have the money to afford multiple dates right now) Not really wondering for myself right now but, I am curious as to how other men navigate this situation. I’ve seen women head over heels with guys that are kinda bums (you’re not immediately a bum if you’re in a situation like me I just don’t like myself) like me so I’ve always wondered how they do it. EDIT:( I just graduated from uni so like I’m a bum but I’m not THAT much of a bum I think. Also like I said before I’m NOT trying to date right now) submitted by /u/Due-Excuse5515
