How do I feel like a person and not just the sum of my career and utility when dating? (by Sparky)

How do I feel like a person and not just the sum of my career and utility when dating?

Lately I've been trying to get myself out there in the dating world and... I hate it a little bit. I feel like I have to present myself like a math problem. Here's my job, my hobbies, my interests - here's how much utility I can provide in your life. Please love me.
I feel like there's no romance and I definitely don't feel like a person. I'm wondering if anyone has felt the same or has any advice...
Edit: I think this has a lot more to do with how I view myself. I just don't feel much spark and it doesn't especially feel like I'm making connections. It feels like everyone is going to judge me based on my success first and well, "me" second. I guess I don't feel like people are out there to love me as much as have me love them. Which is nice and I want that, but I want love too
