Dear Queenie,
My daughter is in her 30s and has never had a serious relationship. She meets plenty of attractive men but after a few dates she doesn’t hear from them anymore and goes on to the next one. I have no idea why this keeps happening.
Queenie, what do you think?—Worried mother
Dear Mother,
If your daughter is as anxious to catch a man as you are for her to do so, she may be scaring them off by looking for a commitment too soon. If that is her problem, try to help her learn to relax and let things develop more slowly.
However, it is also possible that she is too particular about what she wants in a man and cannot find anyone who meets her too-high standards. In that case, perhaps you can help her see things more realistically.
