writes:I'm 22 and I've never had a long term girlfriend and although my confidence is a lot better than a year ago (let alone when I started uni 2 and half years ago), I worry that if I will struggle to find a girlfriend when I work full time. I do Engineering as a degree and I would like to do it as a job. Yet I spoke to my dad and he said most people meet their partner through work and all that did was make me depressed since there are almost no women that do engineering and I have virtually no chance of meeting a girlfriend in work as a result.Do I have a chance at all of finding a girlfriend when I start work and hopefully a future wife? As sad as it sounds I actually broke down and cried today for the first time in a long time because I think I'm going to be alone forever as women never give me a chance.

My son is a scientist and what a bore, a bit like his dad.
Join an amateur theatre group, go and work in a charity shop, go and learn to dance - take your Mum along to start with. I have spend all this money on your education and you think you might have trouble.
What does your Dad know. No females in engineering. At BA we have female engineers and nearly 300 female pilots. Believe me some of the pilots are stunning and all fit, I fall in love everytime I see one. Trouble is I am older than their fathers.
Just get out there and chat - now - call a girl this morning meet her by lunchtime I dare you!!!

 What I meant to say is, that I have loads of relatives/friends that either study engineering or are engineers, many of whom are married.
Most people don't meet their partner through work.

Well, look at all the loads of engineers that are married!
I think your engineering degree makes you more desirable to a girl. It shows you have ambition and brains.
Hey, I thought of something. Have you thought about doing a semester abroad? I ask you this because travelling is a good way to meet people, and you study engineering. I did an exchange at ITESM-Cuernavaca down in Mexico. It's one of the best engineering schools in the world. You should travel, get some stuff out of your system before you settle down.

Engineering is a great feild. Believe it or not women are in this feild as well. So I wouldn't get upset about not seeing a cutie in a skirt at work..
anyways before a serious relationship, have you had any girlfriends for more and 3-5 months?
Also, many girls are attracted to men who can balance a full-time and want a relationship.
Maybe you should stop worrying about looking for a wife and get to make friends with girl first than see what will become. A change in atmosphere is always a great way to meet new people

Start getting the courage to ask girls out. It is a numbers game. Believe me women face loads of rejection to..
Best of luck!!

Rubbish, you have a great chance of meeting a girl. I didn't meet my girlfriend through work, or anything work related. As long as you're a nice guy, and you're just out there meeting people, you'll meet a great girl. In the meantime, focus on your own life and stay at it. You'll meet her.
