Search Results: get her to back off

Seeking advice. Gonna try to keep this short, but basically I'm asking you ladies to review my circumstances below and my current age and see if I'm screwed on dating or not. Also I'm an introvert so any pointers to help with that is welcome as well.

I've only been in 2 relationships my whole life. First was my 11th grade year. 2nd was while I was in the military. Have not dated since 2014 and still have NEVER had sex.

I left the military in 2015 at age 22. 2015-2018 was just simply me being to myself to heal. 2018-2024, a LOT of things went wrong for me. In that time frame, I was homeless (the entire time), went through bankruptcy, then worked Corrections, lost those jobs and had to heal from new trauma there. Had ZERO support.

October 2024 I get the job I currently have. November 2024 I get an apartment. I'm happy at my job. The job combined with my VA Disability check ensures all my bills are paid and a small bit left over. Got a roof over my head. Still fixing my credit and paying a few debts off, but I feel stable for the first time in my life.

Now, the only thing that feels missing is a good woman at my side. But, I've been in survival mode so long that I'm not sure where to begin.

I am 30 years old, kinda broke, and I am back to square one trying to find a career path like I was in high school.

I normally work in tech. I have been getting a lot of grim news the market is oversaturated, according to numerous recruiters. It makes sense, seeing that big tech laid off more than half a million workers since 2022, and foreigners are swiping up these roles from H1B visas and offshore sourcing. In addition, AI is disrupting the tech industry, bringing a lot of uncertainties regarding the demand of human resources in the future.

I was terminated from my most recent tech role. in July 2024. I am thinking leaving tech may be action I need to take.

Here's the issue, I am unlikely going to be able to get into the healthcare industry. I faced disciplinary action on my EMT license many years ago due to a stalking conviction related to a former romantic interest. I have been unable to regain eligibility after recent attempts. I am thinking this eliminates me from most healthcare roles.

I am seeking a career where I can earn a decent upper-middle-class salary without having to return to school for long durations. I am hoping to gain meaningful work where I can use my mind more so than menial labor. I am engaged to be married soon, so I am frantically trying to figure this out.

Any ideas?
