LONELY LOCKDOWN

I’ve wasted so much money on dating sites during lockdown & I’m still alone

DEAR DEIDRE:  BEING stuck at home, I have splashed out a load of money on dating sites.

I am 26 and have wasted my money when I could have done other stuff for free to fill my time. I actually got paid more this month. But instead of leaving it in my bank account, I spent it all on the sites.

It has been too tempting to keep spending in the hope of meeting someone, when I know in reality it is completely pointless.

I do not see how I will meet anyone.

It seems the only thing I can do is to delete the site so that hopefully the ­damage is over by the time I get paid again.

Social life is picking up again but also look for a positive aim – getting fitter, volunteering, learning something new.

If you feel good about yourself you are more likely to attract someone else to feel good about you.
