I feel as though I have no luck with women

Since my last relationship ended a few years ago I have had absolutely no luck with women, sure I have been on a few dates but these are few and far between and they have never gone anywhere. The thing that seems to happen most is I meet someone, we exchange numbers, start talking, I ask her out on a date but then she either gives excuses as to why she can't or just doesn't say yes or no at all so I'm just left here wondering. On top of this all my mates are now in relationships so my social circle has reduced dramatically as they are always busy. I am still putting myself out there but I am just meeting no one.

I don't want to try and sound big headed here but a few of my mates both male and female ask me how am I still single because they think I would be good for someone. What should I do? I am just starting to feel really down and feel as though I should't bother with relationships anymore.
Use something like tinder?
Or online dating to find someone?
Find new ways of meeting people
Try harder! Maybe go out to bars more, sign up for a dating site like tinder or something. Maybe you could meet someone at work, if you do. I mean, you're bound to find someone eventually.
Try speed dating and going to events where you can meet women with similar interests/hobbies to you.

Find a hobby which brings you in to contact with like minded girls. Check out some good pubs where singles hang out. Get some coaching from more successful mates. Practice flirting widely. And more than anything keep going.

I've tried Tinder and I get very few if any matches.

Don't feel like you need to get a girlfriend for the sake of it. As cliché as it sounds, you tend to find someone when you're not looking.

Take up some new hobbies, put yourself out there and get more opportunities to meet new people, then you could create a new social circle that way.

I have taken up quite a few new hobbies over the last few months and I have met more people but still I just seem to have no luck, all the women I seem to meet are either in relationships already or not interested.

Just keep doing your thing. How old are you? Do you work or are you at uni?

I'm 23 and work full time but I go to uni at night to do a course to help with my job.

Are you a part of any university societies? If not, then you should definitely go for it. Finding the time to fit in all in will be hard, I would say weekends are your best bet in terms of socialising with uni folk.

Only solution is to be confident and stand your ground when you do go on dates. Your life will change.
