Your situation, with the job, with wanting to find something meaningful to do with your life, and with romance, are all very common, and very nornal, especially for 21-year-olds. You've only been legally an adult for less than a year. Nothing abnormal about you. I hope that eases your concerns a little.

My best quick advice about jobs is to simply treat it as a numbers game. Say, one out of 10 interviews results in a job offer. One out every 10 job applications filled out and turned in, in person, results in a job interview. One out of every 10 phone calls to a business listed in the Yellow Pages inquiring if they have a job opening results in a "yes, come in and fill out an application". So...to get one job offer, expect to do 10 job interviews, turn in 100 job applications, make 1,000 phone calls.

Make 100 phone calls a day and your job search should be done and you'll be hired within 2 weeks.

Next; girls. The nervousness happens because you're seeking girls for romantic purposes instead of just platonically. That means the expectations and stakes are higher, and you're much less experienced at looking for romance than in just socializing. It's very very normal. Virginity at age 21 is normal, too. And this current society sure doesn't make it easy to find a partner. It's hard for everyone.

There are certain skills involved. In a way, girls are a numbers game, too. The more you meet, the better you get at it. You need practice, mostly--which your polished friend has and you don't. Though you could ask your friend who has no trouble with girls for tips on how he does it. At least let you come with him and watch how he does it in person. For some, the ease and success with girls comes naturally and they don't know how they're doing it. For others, they learned how. You simply need to learn how, that's all. And be patient with yourself--don't be in too much of a hurry to lose your virginity--do socialize and interact. There's books and videos that teach this stuff.

As for finding a larger meaning....that's a very very personal journey. Many many people struggle with it too--and there's no universal solution. Mostly it's a matter of being willing to explore a lot of different things, trial and error, a journey of self-discovery until you find out what matters to you most. And this takes time. Patience, grasshopper!

Perhaps one of the best books I've seen that can help discover what matters most to you is Wishcraft by Barbera Sher. It's basically a workbook in two parts. The first part is about finding out what your dream is--the "wish" part. What kind of life would make you happy? This book gives you a lot of exercises to help you find out. The second part of the book is "craft"--about how to make that life happen--and a lot of it is delightfully unconventional. It's mostly about how you can make your dreams come true without having to become a millionaire first to afford it.

That book changed my own life. I'm living pretty close to my dream life now--and this book helped me a lot to realize what kind of life I wanted, and how to get it even as a dirt-poor disabled person who couldn't hold down a job.

And what's interesting is....a lot of people think you have to be rich to live the way I do now--I live on a 25-acre organic farm in the Cascades, immersed in nature, with forests and snow-capped mountains all around me, broadband internet. I did it on an income of $7,800 a year. It's a very fulfilling life for me.

Wishcraft gave me the brainstorming techniques to figure out how.

Maybe it'll help you.
