I feel old and unattractive after my date ghosted me
DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE a date ghosted me, I’ve felt like a pensioner – even though I am only 28.
Life seems to be passing me by. I live alone, have a boring job in a call centre, only a few friends and no ambitions.
I’m a gay man and recently met another guy, 34, on a dating site.
We had loads in common and talked for weeks.
When we finally met he seemed keen and said how much he liked me.
We had a kiss and he promised he’d call me the next day. But he ghosted me and then blocked me.

Since then I’ve felt so unattractive and hopeless.
Other people my age are out having fun, building careers and forming relationships.
I’m just drifting and worried I’ll be past it soon.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your date’s rude behaviour is no reflection on you.
You’ve taken it to heart because your self-esteem is low, and you may be depressed.
There is someone out there for you, and a job you would enjoy too.
My support packs Finding The Love Of Your Life and Raising Self-esteem should help you.
