With a decent enducation and a good work ethic (which you obviously have, if you graduated) you’re HEAD AND SHOULDERS above most of the male dating pool in the frum community.
Don’t stop dating. The right mate will help you clarify / be supportive of your goals and build a solid home.
Aim for someone within 2 years of your age, (plus or minus) who underatands the value of what you’ve achieved so far.
