Does anyone else completely lose the desire to date when things aren’t going well for them?

I [23M] have had my job completely gutted by the coronavirus and am currently between places when it comes to my living situation. Long story short, I’ll be sleeping on my friend’s couch for the next couple months. Wouldn’t exactly stand out as a winner to any potential in-laws at the moment.

There have been a few different girls I’ve tried talking to since this all started, one of whom I even went on a risky date with.

However, I’m finding now that I definitely don’t enjoy the whole dating thing as much with everything that’s going on. I go AWOL over the phone days at a time or act kind of aloof when trying to make plans because at the end of the day I’m self conscious about how boring I feel like I am. I haven’t had a serious relationship in a few years now so I’ve sort of forgotten what it’s like to have a committed partner there for me when I’m not at my best. It’s honestly gotten to the point of where I now feel more comfortable being single than courting somebody I feel like I’ll inevitably disappoint. I just don’t feel like my life is currently exciting enough for me to deserve dating anyone.

Is it normal to feel like this at my age? To have little to no desire to date anybody because I don’t feel like I have much to offer at the moment? Starting to wonder if I’m just forming commitment issues. I certainly wasn’t dodging people this often when my life was normal.
