DEAR DEIDRE: ALL I want is to meet a nice woman and settle down.
But despite trying everything from dating apps to walking groups, I’ve had no luck.
I’m a sane, decent man of 42, who still has all my own hair. I’m a little shy, but I do make an effort.
I have a good job, eat healthily, try to stay fit and have hobbies and interests.
Friends say a woman should have snapped me up by now.
Until eight years ago, I was in a relationship, but since then there’s been nobody serious, just a few flings and dates.
The women I like don’t like me back. The ones who are interested in me have no conversation.
I don’t think I’m overly-fussy. I don’t have a type – I just want someone who is interesting to talk to and who is kind and fun.
What else can I do to meet someone? I’m running out of ideas, and I don’t want to be single forever.
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.

DEIDRE SAYS: The dating scene is increasingly difficult, especially for those who don’t find swiping right the best way to meet a mate.
Give up on those and concentrate on making friends with women through your interests. Friendship is the best start to a lasting relationship.
Even if those friendships don’t automatically lead to romance, a female friend may have a single friend that’s right for you.
Ask your existing friends if they can introduce you to someone too.
My support pack, Finding The Love Of Your Life, should help.
