Hello! I am 32F and have been single on and off for the past 2 years. In a recent conversation with a friend, she suggested that the reason I was single was the area in which I live now. On the one hand she maybe has a point, many of the men I match with work in the oil and gas field and I work in the furthest thing away from that!! Both my previous LTR were with men who work in the oil and gas field, never saw this as a problem before I have to admit! But I dunno... I feel her comment was perhaps a bit mean spirited? I refuse to believe that because I live in a certain area of Scotland I have cursed myself to remain single! I just want to know if any of you have been in a similar situation as me where friends or family advise you that your post code/address is holding you back from finding love? And if they did, did you go on to find love despite this? I feel hopeful that I will find my match and share my life with someone worthy of my time but it’s hard to remain optimistic when ...

Hi! 32F, and am doing the OLD thing for the first time in a while - last time I did it, it was in an unfocused manner - I didn’t know what I wanted/didn’t want much asides from finding “someone I like”. Now, I want that and more (marriage etc), and would like to be able to filter out unsuitable people - being more picky but more open-minded at the same time (for example, being open-minded about going beyond my usual type, which is artsy, intellectual and tall, but less accepting of people who aren’t ready for a relationship, give me bad vibes, making excuses for men etc), and I need some advice how to achieve that balance during the online portion: What to do with the taciturn men? Those with not much in their profile / or those that send “hey, how are you?” messages. I am between: a) giving them the benefit of the doubt - perhaps some people aren’t as expressive as others and aren’t as “marketable” (sorry, threw up in my mouth a little using that word here) or b) take them at fac...

Hi im a 25 year old man and slowly starting to shed my tough shell that i built up after having had a realy realy bad relationship in the past that got me into al sorts of trouble at the age of 16. It has been a rough journey to finding out who i am and trying to be myself and confident i myself. Thing is ive always simply ben a nice kindhearted gentelmen and as such i feel like i should be playing the cute guy a bit more when i try to flirt. Btw im absolutely the worst at social interactions since i have autism yet i feel like if i know what game im playing i can kinda figure out the rules. I tried to put up the tough cool guy act for a while but i just feel like a dick every time i do. Even tho it does sortof get people there attention. Honestly i simply want companionship and someone i can trust im not looking to date. A model i just want someone to love me the same way i love and care for everyone else and as such i want to be atractive for others yet i dont know how. Im simply s...

(M18) my best friends sister told her mom and brother (who’s my bestfriend) that she likes me. I had no idea that she did. Everytime I would go over she would go out of her way to try talking to me. However the only problem is that she’s 16 and I just feel like that’s too young? if she was 17 or 18 I would consider dating her but she’s 16. And well today my bestfriend told me that if I could, to take her sister out on a date, I don’t want to be rude and say no since I’ve know him and his family for years but like I don’t really want to mislead her or anything. I already told him how I feel about the situation but he said his parents don’t mind. What should I do?

Stay away from dating sites until you get rid of your boring, old plain personality. It’s like some of these people grew up in a farm in the middle of nowhere or in a town of only 50 people.
