Lots of people are perfectly happy to be single, but if you’re looking to meet someone and can’t work out why you haven’t met them yet, you may find that you fit one of the following situations:

Bad luck – In the words of every mother ever: “life isn’t fair” In an ideal world everyone would find their ideal partner at exactly the point when they want to find love, however life doesn’t work like that. Some people find love at school, whereas others have to wait a lot longer.

If you haven’t met your ideal partner just yet, don’t despair! Thousands of Muddy Matches members have found their very own ‘muddy’ match with a bit of time and effort and hopefully you will meet your countryside love too.

You live in a remote area – Law of averages means that if you meet 1000 people a year, you’re likely to find a least one person who you fancy. If you only meet 20 new people each year your odds are slashed dramatically.

By joining a dating website with thousands of members such as Muddy Matches, you will be able to get in contact with people who you may never have met otherwise.

You expect people to come to you – Waiting for someone to contact you is a bit like waiting for a bus in a remote village without looking at the timetable. You may find that someone sends you a message straight away or you might end up waiting for a long time.

Sending someone a message is the best way to take control of the situation. You never know, you’re ideal match may have overlooked you thinking that you are out of their league.

You’ve given up – Please don’t write off all men or all women because you’ve had a few bad experiences. Keep trying – it’s worth it in the end!

You’re too keen – Conversely, it is possible to be too keen to meet someone. There’s a difference between being in love, and being in love with the idea of being in love. By being too keen, you can put people off.
