Dating : Is it a bad idea to focus on my (22M) career instead of dating?
I’m currently working and studying at the same time, and it’s making me pretty busy. I’m an actuary, and I have 10 exams total until I’m fully credentialed. I’m 7 down and got 3 to go, and I expect to finish when I’m around 24. The last time I dated was when I was 15 (does that even count?), and since then, I’ve done nothing but study and work. When I see friends around me with their girlfriends or really just any guy my age with a girlfriend, it does make me wonder if I’m making a huge mistake. My concern is that my dating naivete will come back to bite me when I start dating cluelessly and drive away someone that I like. On the other hand, I don’t meet a lot of girls my age that live the life I live (9 – 5 job, early to bed early to rise, paying all my bills, not living with parents), so it feels like I have to go through a lot of people to find someone compatible. I just don’t now if it’s worth it.
TL;DR: delay my career and date or focus on my career and stay single

Why not both? Dating is gonna get hella harder when you are older, so why not have someone to stick around long term and get that degree/money
