The 5 'dating demons' of UK singles

One of the UK's top relationship experts has identified five reasons why people are scared to get back on the dating scene.
A whopping 5.6 million singles in Britain have not been on a date in more than six months, new research has revealed.
Yet Parship.co.uk's dating expert, psychiatrist Dr Victoria Lukats, reminds singles that only one in seven dates will lead to a second date, so the best thing people can do is take the dating plunge.
"Forget the usual excuses ? hectic lifestyle, lack of time and a dearth of suitable people ? It's not lifestyle that's holding people back from forming a relationship, it's what's going on in their head," Dr Lukats explained.
She said that the five key factors holding singles back from dating are shyness, fussiness, low self-esteem, lack of opportunity and desperation.
However Dr Lukats advised that the only way to overcome your demons is to start dating again.
"It's similar to the way you'd treat someone with a phobia," she explains.
"It's called exposure and response prevention. You encourage the individual to put him or herself in the feared situation."
