What you need to know:

  • I think the short answer is that maybe it just isn’t your time right now, particularly if you’ve already tried.
  • Sometimes, a different strategy to try is nothing at all. Is this a sign from the universe that you need to start enjoying life on your own? Maybe.

Hey Brenda,

Dating doesn’t seem to work for me. I have joined the apps, connected with friends of friends, tried to connect with people on my own... no success. And for some reason the people I match with on the dating apps end up ghosting me... I'm not sure why?

Dear Lonely in Love,

That sounds really tricky! And under normal circumstances, I would have said something from the storybooks like put yourself out there, be more willing…but if you were any more out there at this point you would be a billboard.

Partnership isn’t always for everyone. Maybe when you take that solo trip by yourself, love will find you instead of you looking for it. And that’s ok too.
