I went on a date with a friend of a friend last Friday. It was lovely, we kissed and held hands, we laughed, we didn't part until the last train. He texted me to say "I couldn't keep my eyes off you tonight, lovely Claudia". Now, he's disappeared.

So - what is it with boys these days?

I'm privately educated, well spoken, stylish, funny and loving. Physically, I'm blonde, blue eyes, 5'4, and more voluptous than the current fashion - size 16, 38dd. I can speak four languages, and would make a great wife and mother, and would support my partner in every way, entertaining, home-making, wonderful menus, whatever. And, I'm not a prude.

So, boys, why am I single?

Answers on a postcard from London residents ONLY please. You should be single, want children, and caucasian. Anyone who can get a table at a good restaurant tomorrow night goes straight to the top of the queue!
