I’m a disaster with women
DEAR DEIDRE: After buying cinema tickets and popcorn for my date, she stood me up.
I felt angry and humiliated. Now she’s ghosted me, even though we’d been messaging each other for weeks.
I’m a 24-year-old guy and I have no luck with women or dating. I’ve been single for what seems like forever.
Women never seem interested in me or, if they are, it’s for the wrong reasons – like money. I thought this woman was different.
We got on so well online and I couldn’t wait to meet for our first date.
I stood in the cinema foyer for an hour before I realised she wasn’t going to show.
People were staring at me pityingly, as if they knew I was a reject.
I don’t know why she didn’t turn up after she seemed so keen to meet. Or why she couldn’t at least text.
I feel heartbroken. I don’t think I’m ever going to find a girlfriend.

DEIDRE SAYS: This woman was thoughtless and rude. It might not feel like it now but you’ve had a lucky escape.
I don’t know why she didn’t show. Perhaps she wasn’t honest with you.
The problem with online dating is there’s too much choice and people aren’t always genuine.
Don’t give up on love. My support pack Finding The Right Partner For You will give you tips on better ways to meet a partner.
Focus on forming friendships with women who share your interests.
