How do I find someone to love?
DEAR DEIDRE: For the last five years I’ve been single and worry anyone new will think I’m unlovable.
I’m 30 and a man with a good job and nice car but I can’t find that special person to share my life with. I’m confident and I think I’m an OK sort of guy.
I’m a bit inexperienced though. I’ve had two long-term relationships and I’ve never had sex other than with those women. I’ve not been with anyone since - I’ve not even had a cheeky kiss.
I met a girl at a friend’s wedding recently and I thought she was lovely but after buying her a drink and having a chat with her, she walked off to talk to some other guy.
I’ve been on lots of dating sites and whilst I find many women attractive, not many women seem to feel the same about me. What am I doing wrong?

DEIDRE SAYS: Probably nothing. You’ve just not met the right one. It can take time to find that special person.
The good news is that you’ve got qualities that attract people because you’ve had relationships in the past.
Rather than dating and gauging whether everyone is ‘girlfriend material’, go out with friends and network without putting extra pressure on yourself.
My support pack Shyness And Social Anxiety will help you to ensure you’re the best version of yourself when you have the opportunity to form new friendships which may lead to a relationship for you.
