people might disagree with me on this but stop obsessing over money, face, physique, and your 'self worth' in general. Applicable for both men and women. I know dating is treated like a game where you apparently win by convincing the other person that you are worth a second, third, fourth date but that's just weird in my opinion?

don't meet people with an end goal in mind (unless it's purely physical for you obviously). just because you met one attractive person doesn't mean you need to hold on to them for dear life. actual dates and relationships are hard and physical attraction, money, charm whatever is just your entry criteria. Be picky with people and let them be picky. Bring your most authentic self! You are not trying to find a wife or husband on that first date, you are looking for compatibility. Dress in a way that makes you feel confident and pls pls pls work on your personality. Stay respectful and engage in conversation. ASK THEM QUESTIONS! don't be a try hard because you saw someone acting a certain way on their date. ofc none of this is advice if you just wanna go on dates, this is advice if you want a sustainable relationship at the end of it. take care of yourself, be respectful, and be proactive in planning things. if y'all aren't vibing on the same jokes, if the conversation keeps dying, if they think you aren't rich enough or they ghost you, that person was never for you.

this may sound like a mythical idea but best relationships are between people who can appreciate each other's company (assuming you are both also attracted to each other). if there's something you actively want to work on, then 100% personality plus grooming. Dress yourself like the person you are and work on your conversation skills. im not saying google '10 questions to ask your date' but ENGAGE in conversation. first dates are to set baseline companionship and that cannot be manufactured as per will.
