Your social media

 

The Inner Circle founder¹, David Vermeulen, says your social media channels may be the reason you are single.

 

'Try to refrain from posting your political stance on controversial topics such as Brexit and immigration online.

 

He also warns against posting cryptic² statuses, such as: 'my life is like a black hole, everything good gets swallowed up'.

 

Your attitude

 

Jack³ Knowles, founder of dating app Temptr, says that many single people that he encounters seem to carry a typical ‘woe is me attitude’ when it comes to explaining to friends and family members the reason behind why they haven’t yet found ‘the one’ to settle down with, especially once they have reached a certain age.

 

You're too picky

 

Lucy Jones, relationship expert at ToyboyWarehouse.com, says the internet is to blame for us being too picky.

 

She said: 'Before the explosion of internet dating and social media, you had just a handful of potential partners. You either ended up dating a friend of a friend, a coworker, or someone you bumped into at the coffee shop. How many potential partners do we have now? Hundreds of thousands!

 

'I have a type'

 

Lucy Jones says that dating is a buffet⁴ - the best way to build your preferences is to sample everything on offer.

 

You haven't let go of an ex

 

Your future relationships are affected⁵ by a wide range of things, your connection to your ex is one of the most impactful, says Lucy.
