At 24, you haven't yet reached the age where the ladies will think "What? What is wrong with him?" Now if you're still living this way in 5 years, it might raise some eyebrows. So I wouldn't worry too much! There will be some girls who are more independent, and some in situations just like yours. I am all for young adults becoming independent and self-sufficient, but at 24 you've still got a bit of time left to establish yourself as a man.
I don't think I would date anyone who didn't have a steady job and was on his own.
Only because I have been working FT since 18 and living on my own also, so dating a "college kid" would not work. We would be at very different stages.
But I don't think of it like I am in a "better" circumstance than you, just a different one. Making money and living on your own is good but it isn't better than doing the college thing.
It's not about finding yourself in a bad situation or not having quite reached your goals yet. It's about whether there's the follow-through.
In a related question, how what is the best way to bring my less than steller current circumstances up? I'm on a dating site right now, and in my profile, for obvious reasons, I highlight my strengths. Their is a girl there who I haven't chatted with much, but it sounds like she is someone I'd like to meet and also sounds like she would be up for coffee sometime soon. She's also a year older than me and more successful. I hesitate to tell her of my current situation through a message because then she might not want to meet. But it would also be awkward to bring it up while we hang out (but at least then, she would have the opportunity to get to know me first). Any advice?
I hope this gal is cool. If she doesn't like you for where you're at in life right now, then she's not cool. You are successful and you will continue to be successful. You've got the drive to get it done, where lots and lots of people have already quit. Any woman worth her salt will see that.
