What should one 'offer' in dating or a relationship?

The notion of having something to offer is why I never date. I feel I have very little to offer. I might be able to provide kindness and patience and I'm a good listener, but it seems people want excitement deep down. I really don't offer that. I have a moderate anxiety disorder so I don't go traveling, or do a lot of social activities. I fear a guy will want someone who DOES offer that.

What do you feel one could 'offer' in dating that is a positive aspect of a relationship? What do you enjoy most in a relationship?

I am a lot like you. I have very little to offer. I am able to provide kindness and patience and I'm a good listener also. What I find, (being a male,) is that most women today have their goal set at finding a very handsome looking guy that has money.
I have also found that many women do not want a financially responsible equal relationship. If both are earning money, his money pays for everything and her money is to do what she pleases with it.
