Really consider what you want the wedding to be because this shyt is not cheap

With rent and other expenses, I've managed to stack money little by little over the years for doomsday, worse-case scenario situations. Enough to where I'm technically not living paycheck to paycheck, but not enough to where I can justify spending over $200 on anything non-essential. Fortunately I'm naturally cheap lol, even once I eventually start making real money one day I don't plan being a big spender.You a real one
All I read there was real man shyt.
Somebody getting it out the mud.
You're still young tho. All you need is a plan so what's your plan moving forward?
Do you have upward mobility at your job? Do you have a plan to save up for a car and improve your financials?
I know you gotta take care of your mom but a lot of women can be understanding when it comes to that. Especially if you're able to have female company over and she doesn't interfere. Plus any women who rejecting you over that saving you trouble in the long run because your mom is a big part of your life
As for upward mobility at my job, kind of. I work in retail and got promoted from being a regular associate to a supervisor in a year and have gotten the hang of giving orders, being a leader, and leading the coworkers under me.
The general manager of our store passed away a month ago and the assistant manager who's an older breh that's looked out for me and showed me the ropes from day one recently applied to be general manager. He promised me that if they promote him then he'll promote me to assistant manager.
Rumor is that corporate is going to close the store because the lease is up this year, so I'm hoping he and I both get promoted so I'll be able to put "Assistant Manager" on my resume once it's time to dust it off again.

Any plans of going to school or entering into a trade? Do you have your associates?

I have an associates, but unfortunately it's in a career field that's
A. Dying
and
B. Virtually impossible to make a decent living in unless you go to the right school and make the right connections (networking, internships, etc.)
In order to help make ends meet during periods where I couldn't find work while at community college, I had to take a bunch of extra classes and random electives almost every semester to get extra cash via the refund checks from my pell grants.
So rather than only taking the required courses for my major and getting out in just 2 years, I was forced to be there waaaaaaay longer.
The combined stress of having both financial pressure at home AND academic stress at school to maintain my grades and GPA so I could continue getting pell grants burnt me the hell out by the time I finally got my degree.
Soon after graduating I noticed that all of the entry level jobs in my area of study required either a bachelors or at least an associates -- but with prior experience only. And of course with money always being tight for me, I had to settle with whatever job I could get.

I honestly think I'm aromantic. I just don't have romantic feelings. Sexual? Yes. Romantic. No. 
I've been in situations where I just didn't feel anything and even then, I faked it.

Do you feel like it’s worth faking or would you rather be on your own?I honestly think I'm aromantic. I just don't have romantic feelings. Sexual? Yes. Romantic. No.

i can only give my two cents
learn how to express yourself through your words. try online dating, seriously. not tinder shyt, something where you make a profile. BE HONEST. women can smell when youre not, i swear. IMO women want either a best friend or a provider, or both. dont overdo the alpha shyt, but make sure she knows that if some shyt goes down, you are capable of protecting her. just be honest about who you are.
i'm a 6'2 chunky native dude from oklahoma and ive never had problems with girls. im not physically attractive, but i have a brain. women love to be stimulated mentally. but if youre not willing to go all the way, dont bother. really, honesty is your best policy. if she just wants to hook up tonight you can cook with that, but dont try to force a relationship if you fall in love by accident. she used you the same way you probably used other women
women are human beings just like us. most of you dudes problem is that you wont be honest with them. and if you aint shyt, thats okay. a lot of women aint shyt either.
but looking at some posts here some of you dudes think youre adonises when youre not.
just be honest, i promise

There are plenty of these. They are everywhere.
In the check-out line:
Her: "Is that marinade sauce any good? I've been wanting to try it."
how poisoned is your mind? IME the majority of women with kids wont tell you about it until shes sure shes safe with you
if i were a single woman at my age, i would lie to men and tell them i have kids to filter them out
there are some 'aint shyt' moms out there but ive found the majority of women with kids arent looking for a stepdad. theyre usually looking for a lover and you'll never meet the kids unless she catches feelings.
as cowardly as you are, you probably deserve to be alone
i didnt have the greatest experience growing up with a single mom, but i would've killed for a stepdad that actually gave a damn about me. most of them just wanted to fukk my mom and leave. salute to those men who stand up. we need more of them, and less of prissy fakkits who argue about digital dashboards in cars on the internet.
but thats just my 2 cents
