    I recently met this guy, he's a few years older then me and just finished college. I took a year out after finishing school, and I still don't know what I'm doing with my life this coming year. I didn't get a great leaving cert which makes my choices very limited. I'm probably just going to do some kind of PLC or FAS course this year. I'm not stupid, I like to think I actually am pretty smart but school just did not suit me. This is something that I'm always extremely embarassed about when people ask what I'm doing. I really like him, we've only met once but we are texting and plan to go out on a date soon. Thing is, I have this fear that he's going to think I'm not up to par with him. Even if we were to get together and it didn't bother him, what would his friends and family think if he is there working away in a good job, and I'm doing some FAS course and not knowing where I'm going in life?

    I know I'm probably over thinking this, but just looking for some tips on my situation! Anyone been in a similar situation to this?
    Thanks!

    Look around you. I am sure that you know many couples who have different levels of educational accomplishment, and are making a go of things. I certainly do.

    And you are worried even before a first date! Give yourself a break: have a night out, and enjoy it. Take it from there.

    Stop being so hard on yourself.
    Very few people have their lives figured out.

    Find something you will actually enjoy.
    What do you spend your time doing? What interests you? What do you think you would happily spend your days doing?
    Animals, Beauty, outdoors/indoors, fitness, TV/Radio, gardening, computers, writing, art .....etc whatever.
    Find something you love and do that.
    Try make money from it afterwards.

    If you find something you love. There are no doors closed to you.
    If you love it, you will be good at it and your passion will see you through.

    Everything is still accessible to you.
