Why Is She Still Single?

She hopes to get married at the age of 30 and to start having children at 32.
But Miss Zoe Teh, 29, a graduate from the Singapore Management University, has been single for the past two years.
The owner of Thumbelina, a nail parlour in Bukit Timah, puts it down to the difficulty she faces meeting new people.
She plans to try a dating website soon, or join a dating agency.
"I find it difficult. Here, few men come up and chat to you. Even when I go for coffee, no one really bothers to say hello or be friendly," she said, comparing her experience in Australia where she lived for some time.
Even at parties here, she said, they do not make the first move to approach her.
"I thought of joining government dating agencies, but it's a bit taboo. I am very open about meeting new people, but it's not easy."
She said she broke up with her boyfriend of five years in 2010, after he did not pop the question.
The Christian goes to church regularly, but said she has grown up with her church group and treats them like family.
So what does she look for in a man? Someone who is attractive, stable, with a university degree and manages his finances well.
Her plea? More avenues where she can meet people. "Right now, even with free time I am not sure where to go to meet people."
