I'm in my 30s and I constantly express fears to my T that I will never marry and have kids because I've never had a boyfriend and don't get asked on dates. I feel undesirable. It comes up in every session. I legitimately lose sleep over this.

For a while, my T has been suggesting online dating. He felt that if I was getting asked on dates, I'd feel better about myself. Finally, two months ago we sat down during a session and made me a profile, wrote up answers to the questions and chose my photos. I showed the profile to a few friends just to get more opinions on it.

Here's the kicker: 8 weeks and I have not gotten a single message. I get notified about visits to my profile, but no guy ever writes. At one session, my T suggested I write to the ones I like. Did that and most read my message, a few visited my profile and no one replied.

Every week I hear from my T to "give it time" and "at least you know you tried." I wait and rework my profile and change my photos...and get nothing. Per my T's suggestions, I tried another site. Nothing. Needless to say, I'm way more devastated now. Previously, I held out hope that if I tried online dating that I would find someone or get some attention. That hope is gone and my depression and anxiety are unbearable.

P.S. other women (who I know personally and those whose stories I read online) who have used these sites say how they are overwhelmed by the number of messages they receive. But not me.
