HELP ME TO FIND THE ‘RIGHT’ MAN FOR ME
Dear Jo
I’m 34 and single. I have my own fashion company and am very successful in my career. My friends say I’m very attractive and I go to the gym every day. I have a bubbly personality and consider myself intelligent. I’m writing to you because I have tried to meet someone for years and it seems the guys I want are just not interested in me. I was out recently at a bar and I kept getting talked to by guys who didn’t interest me. I always get the guys that are not what I am looking for and I really want to break this pattern. Help! What can I do? I feel like time is running out.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME – SO WHAT WENT WRONG?
Dear Jo
I really need your help! I went on a fantastic date last week and met a girl with whom I shared a real connection. We had such a laugh together and the evening flew by. I’m 30 and it has taken me ages to finally meet a woman I like. The evening ended with me walking her to her car and we kissed! The following morning, I texted, saying: “I had a great night, thank you. I’d like to see you again.” She has not replied, five days since the date! I’m beating myself up about what I said that put her off, or did I kiss her too soon? I’ve sent her another message and still not heard anything. Now I’m just feeling awful and wondering what I did wrong?
