I’m 26M and I still live at home. This past May I graduated from grad school and I’m currently on the hunt for full time work. I’ve been talking to this girl I met on hinge and it seemed that it was going great, and we even planned on going out tomorrow as of me writing this. But as soon as I mentioned that I’m still living at home and I’m looking for full time work she ends up saying that we have a lot in common but that we are in different stages of life and due to me being in a transitionary phase it won’t really work out and wished me for the best.
I feel a bit frustrated and even though I was cordial about it, telling her I appreciated her honesty I still feel a bit hurt and disappointed. I’m sorry that I still haven’t fully settled in my life and is making a lot of money and have my own place but that doesn’t mean I’m not looking for someone I can vibe and care about.
Should I just wait until I live on my own to continue dating or keep trying?
