You’ve got to a point now where you are fed up with dating because they never are the right person for you.
You are realising that actually this “wrong” person is the kind of person you’ve been having relationships with your whole life.

However, if you were to ask me “Does online dating work?” I would be reticent to say the same.
Here are 5 reasons why I think that being successful with online dating can be a challenge.
