A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I don't know how to explain but I'll do it as best as possible.

Two years ago I was dumped by my gf for reasons that weren't making sense at the time. It became apparent she had met another guy and so I figured it was for this.

I feel I've lost my heart. Since then, I've lost friends at uni and I've lost a lot of trust in individuals. I want to make more friends. I don't hang with old secondary school mates but there is still contact from time to time.

Furthermore, since the breakup, I haven't been in a committed relationship. My mistake was that I stopped talking to new girls and so now when I meet new ones I get nervous during conversation or I jump the gun when I break the ice. I'm 22 now since then and I'm really depressed about not having so many close mates.

I've got about 100 on my facebook. Most of whom I don't chat to. I need some tips in how to make new friends, talk to girls, where to meet girls, build confidence, get more than 15 contacts on my bb, most of whom are guys.

I don't intend to stop every random girl because I'm sure it's not normal to stop every random female on the street and ask for their number.

I always go out for walks as I get depressed at home alone, but then I'm always going for walks by myself which isn't really fun.

I'm really tired mentally and need some advice for major great self-improvement. I'm 22 and I am not happy! That's very wrong at this age. I should be having the time of my life.

Thanks for reading

A female reader, Shini United Kingdom +, writes (11 May 2011):

Shini agony auntDo you have a job? My friend works at a bakers and he said he meets new people everyday, men and women. If that doesn't work then go to a club or pub, there's bound to be lots of people just waiting to be talked to there. Maybe go to a coffee shop or go somewhere you enjoy to go. This way you'll meet more people with your interests and you won't be depressed either.

If you share interest with a girl it's allot easier to talk to her instead of talking to a random girl haha.

Hope this helped :D
