A 40-year-old virgin is looking for love

A 40-year-old virgin is looking for the perfect female companion to ensure his birthday celebrations go with a bang.

George Handley suffers from Aspergers Syndrome and finds social situations awkward and has never had a girlfriend.

But he is willing to put his shyness behind him and has planned the ideal romantic getaway - but first he needs to find a woman willing to join him.

Theatre fan George, from Nottingham, has even bought a spare ticket to Fame the Musical in Bournemouth, where he will mark his 41st birthday on August 30.

He has now launched a search for his ideal woman in the hope of finding a date for his big day.
