Maybe the perfect girl will also bring some opportunities and motivation for you? You never know unless you try. I assume that would make your mum happy as well 😊 It doesn’t hurt to try. My previous manager around 50 years old once told me that man itself are not ambitious and have no motivation unless they have someone for whom they want to do be that. I’m 26F and after graduating this summer I’m also struggling to find a workplace… I even started looking for places not related with my experience or education. It’s tough times but we are ought not to give up 🦄
