To make it easier to find lasting relationships, Taylor suggests making an effort to meet new people online and in real life.

"Dating apps are great for introducing you to new people, but don’t overlook the people who are around you every day. The more you practise chatting to new people, the easier it'll get," she says.

"Also, delay physical intimacy as long as you can, but definitely until you’re officially dating. Having intimate relationships before you know what someone is really looking for is the best way to avoid getting emotionally committed to a situationship."

Meanwhile, Beaton and Ikeler advise finding a support group of single friends.

"Get out there and have some fun with them. Everyone needs a good wingman. Get your mindset right so that you are in a good place and have the capacity to meet people. And then put some intention into your search.

And unfortunately, we hate to say it, but it may not happen naturally, you have to be proactive these days."

Lastly, Dempsey encourages the singles out there not to give up.

"You’re not too old. You’re not too whatever you think is holding you back from finding a relationship. You have to understand that a lot of people aren’t going to be the right fit for you – and that is okay. You want to be clear on what you’re looking for so you stand out and call in the right people. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, so you can find someone who is looking for someone like you," she concludes.
