I’m thinking of applying to Love Island or First Dates as I’ve had no luck in love

DEAR DEIDRE: AS I haven’t had much success meeting women in the usual way, I think I should apply to a dating show like Love Island or First Dates.
I’m sick of being rejected on online dating sites.
I’m a 19-year-old guy and was in a long-term relationship until last year.

Since then, all the women I meet are shallow and after money.
I’m not the best-looking guy, and I’m a bit socially awkward, but there must be someone out there for me.
