NOT SO 'APPY

I’ve tried every dating app but can’t find anyone who wants to date with me – it’s destroying my confidence

DEAR DEIDRE: ALTHOUGH I have tried every dating app under the sun, I still can’t find anyone who would go on a date with me.

I’m a 47-year-old male. I got divorced from my wife two years ago after a nine-year relationship.

A few months ago I started online dating.

I’ve had women match with me but whenever I suggest a date they ghost me. It’s so demoralising.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Am I so bad looking that no one wants to know me?

It’s destroying my confidence.

I really want to find my happy ever after.

DEIDRE SAYS:  I am sorry to hear you haven’t had any luck meeting someone online.

You could always show your profile to a friend to hear their opinion.

But perhaps a slight change in focus might help. Rather than fixating on meeting a girlfriend, focus on making friends.

Out of these friendships, romance can blossom.

I’m attaching my support packs, Widening Your Social Scene and Love Online, for guidance.
