What can I offer to a woman in this day and age?

What do I bring to the table? What could a woman possibly see in me?

I am a gentleman. But that is worthless if I am boring to be with.
I am a poet. But that is worthless without romantic places.
I am loyal. But that is worthless if I give her no reason to be loyal.

I can see a multitude of things that I can appre­ciate in a woman…but I cannot see what it is that would compel any woman to appre­ciate me. Perhaps I do not know myself as well as I should…perhaps my powers of obser­vation are inca­pable of being turned inward.

Yes, I am young…my life is supposedly only beginning. With time youth becomes matu­ration, and with matu­ration comes growth. With growth comes change. Granted, I suspect that my changes will not be drastic; however, change is inevitable. Should I even bother seeking and pursuing romance at this point in my life? It is in my heart to do so, but is it sensible? Is there anyone out there who could possibly grow and change with me?

I do not feel like I am in the right century…my values are anachro­nistic. Most women would probably think I’m not inter­ested in them simply because I keep it clean and I take it slow. I have a very strict moral code. I have extremely high stan­dards for myself and for others. I want someone who can be as loyal as I can be. I want someone who is as clean as I am. I want someone whose heart is as pure as mine. Are there any women who still believe in a slow courtship?
