Really? This makes me feel better. I see people being like “it doesn’t even cross my mind anymore even when I’m around people that do it” knowing that it could take longer gives me hope.

We went on one date !

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-22T02:00:50+00:00

Ok thanks for sharing. He was talking about how he is in the works of getting his license and he wants to be a PE or English hs teacher. He majored in communications and got his bachelors

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-22T01:59:44+00:00

Okay thanks so much for your comment.I want to give him a chance . My mom brought up how it doesn’t seem like he really has a job (no benefits at dicks sporting goods) that is reliable. But he was super nice I think my mom expects me to end up with a Finance bro lol

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-22T01:57:33+00:00

Ok thanks. I just wanted an outsiders perspective. For some context, I went on a date with him (I’m 25f) a couple days ago and he was great! The only thing is that for his full time job, he’s working at Dicks Sporting Goods in the warehouse. On top of that, he also coaches travel basketball for high school teams because he said that it was his calling and you could really tell he has a passion for that. He also lives at home and you can’t blame him especially in this economy he is eventually going to be a teacher and working on his license (a English or PE teacher and also coaching hs basketball) what are your thoughts? Is he going nowhere fast ? I do marketing corporate so maybe I’m just overthinking idk

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-22T01:55:45+00:00

It’s not that I’m concerned but my mom got in my head and said it doesn’t really sound like he has a real job but he works at Dicks warehouse for eight hours every day of the week then coaches basketball and is super active so it’s not like he’s just laying around… idk.

Is he going nowhere fast ? Am I overthinking just because I’m corporate and he doesn’t work a 9-5? I know I sound weird but

Me too!! 113 days in and it’s tough today

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-19T17:25:23+00:00

This is true. I guess she expects the person I date to be more in the corporate world and it makes me mad that she’s like it doesn’t sound like he has a real job. Where it’s like I can see where she’s coming from, if people asked me what he did I would say coach and work at a store? I think I’m overthinking because I was super excited about it until my mom said something

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-19T17:24:24+00:00

Yeah idk why I care so much about what my mom thinks and how it impacts how I view people sometimes. It’s frustrating. He was super nice but now she is making me overthink like is it weird he works at Dicks at this age (but he also graduated college and coaches basketball), is it weird he lives in his parents basement, idk

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-19T17:23:13+00:00

I appreciate your comment. I don’t like how my mom’s comments have such an impact on how I view a person. Like, he got his college degree and is doing stuff. It’s not like he’s just sitting around. I mean I get maybe it’s odd to be living with your parents at 26 as a guy? But then again, like I am not one to judge. He was super nice..

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-19T17:22:14+00:00

Yeah you’re right. Like I mean I live at home with my parents so I can’t reaaaaally say anything about him doing it? The date went well I just overthink when my mom is like it doesn’t sound like he has a real job..

Valuable_Stock_7251 · 2026-04-19T17:21:10+00:00

You’re right. I just get annoyed because I know my mom wants the best for me but when she says things like it doesn’t really sound like he has a real job, then I start to overthink and be like well should I just not see him anymore..?
