Since then I got involved with someone I have known for over 7 years, but ended up getting hurt badly after 4 months.I am 37 years old and worried that I am never going to meet the right person. In the last 3 relationships I have had I feel like I have been walked all over.I don't like going with strangers. There is no-one in my social group who I like who is unattached. What can I do?

 You can't find Mr. Right if you don't get out there and start looking. Clubs, parties, classes, any thing to get high visability. Quit whining and get moving! You'll find him.

 Hi,
Sorry to hear about the relationships, but you are probably going to prove your fears to be correct unless you do something about it. Considering you don’t like strangers and all your group is attached you are limiting yourself to about zero possibilities.
How quickly do you make new friends? You don’t have to necessarily go with strangers if you meet through some common interest for a few weeks.
But I think you should consider this ‘right person’, what is he like, what are his hobby’s? Does he drink much? Does he play sports? Whatever your right persons hobby’s are I think you should find a way to put yourself there. E.g. Do you like men who cook? Then get yourself to a cookery class (even if you can cook yourself!)
Oh, and why don’t you ask someone who is 42 how young he thinks you are. You don’t realise how young you are until 5 years after.

It takes a lot of work to find the right person. People find that special someone at different ages. There's nothing to worry about - 37 is still very young (believe it!), and you have a hell of a lot of time to settle down. No worries!?!
And never forget, when you meet someone, give them a chance, and just be you!!!
Best of luck to you, Qui-Gon-Jim xxx
