A female reader, anonymous, writes (3 August 2010):

Most people who have been in relationships don't want to guide a relationship virgin.

Depending on his age, some will keep the distance if he's never been in a relationship because it would seem he may have other issues or basically have no interest in pursuing one, even if that's not the case.

This is very general, but a lot of first relationships don't work out. People need experience and the only way to get it is to have that first relationship or two- ya, I know - catch-22 and all that.

Imagine, there is another person out there that is just like you. The odds are there is. They may be shy, or for one reason or another haven't had a relationship either. If you would be willing to open up to them, then the only step you need to take is to find them or let them find you.

Try online dating, be upfront that this is your situation. You need to put this right in front of you. The other person who is like you will see this, and open up to you. Don't worry what others will think, life is too short.

Pretend your life is just starting now. Don't feel sorry for yourself, forgive yourself. Move on. The past is the past, this is your life, not then but now.

Moo's Mum agony auntIf there is someone you like ask them if they would join you for a coffee. Sparks don't have to fly straight away as long as you like each other you just have to work away slowly. Ask her about her life, what things she loves to do in her spare time, where she grew up, fav food etc. But don't ask these things in rapid fire succession just intersperce it through the conversation. If the coffee date goes well ask if she would like to meet you for lunch.

The key thing is to be yourself. Admit that you are shy too everyone feels shy sometimes.
