Join any major dating site for a while and you will see the same faces come round again and again. They are not ugly or evil or dangerous people. They are ordinary people like you and me, and yet for some reason love is eluding them.

The internet is peppered with the walking wounded. Literally tens of thousands of divorced or jilted people from all over the computerised world are looking for new love. Naturally, there are success stories with happy endings. But the vast majority are frustrated individuals who just cannot – or more accurately will not fall in love. They’ve been hurt once before – and that’s once too often. Not only that, but the pain of rejection that being divorced can engender, leads them to fear that they aren’t actually loveable. They hope and fervently believe that new love is the antidote: that they will recover from their divorce trauma if the knight or princess of their dreams shows up.
