To be perfectly honest, I'm 28 and I've never been on a date or in any sort of romantic situation. I've been concentrating on studying and getting my PhD, and unsurprisingly you don't meet many men in the library. I've been in a few different societies and things but I'm also completely hopeless when it comes to social situations and to make things even more confusing, I really don't like people touching me.

Despite that, I'd really like to meet someone. I feel lonely at night and when I see other couples walking around, I've been starting to think how much I'd like that too.

I downloaded Tinder, but I haven't a clue where to start. How do you choose who to swipe right on? Anyone who could be vaguely nice? I obviously don't want the topless/partying/stunned animal men, but how can I tell who would be interested in me too?

You may find it helpful to look at dating thread 177 on here OP - some fantastic rules to follow and a very supportive bunch of people. Good luck!

You might want to address why you find being touched difficult and learn some social skills as a first step, rather than just going on Tinder and hoping for a miracle. Do the work to sort this out and it'll be good for in life generally as well as opening up romantic possibiliity.
