Thanks for the comments everyone.

I think it's all down to me that I'm still single. I've been in so many good positions to meet a partner, especially in my career as a primary school teacher, where men are in the minority.I have no problem in chatting to women, but just feel I'm missing something, which enables me to develop friendships into something more.

We've got to remain optimistic I suppose, but I'm really realising now that if i don't get out and make it happen, it never will. Are there any meet ups with people on here? Surely with so many people single, that would be worth a shout, especially with people actually understanding other people's anxieties.
