The former member of The Pussycat Dolls thinks the fact that she hasn't put the work in to find a significant other is partly to blame for her single life.

AceShowbiz - Former The Pussycat Dolls member Melody Thornton acknowledges she's been unlucky in love. The 38-year-old singer has said she hasn't put the work in to find a significant other but she is "trying."
"I haven't had a lot of luck, but I think I have been avoidant in a lot of ways. I didn't know that it takes work, so I'm trying to do that now," she told HELLO! magazine.
The theatre star - who is currently starring in the UK tour of "The Bodyguard" - revealed in 2017 that she had never had a serious boyfriend since she was a teenager and didn't want to "f*** up" her time in the girl group by having a guy around to distract her.
She told new! magazine, "I had one serious boyfriend during high school and then I got into the group. After that it was just like three months here, six months there - nothing solid. I've never lived with anyone. I never had a boyfriend [in the band]. Some of my bandmates full-on had boyfriends and I was like, 'How are you doing that?' It was the biggest opportunity you'll get in your life, so don't f*** it up by having someone drag you down."
But Melody knew exactly what she was looking for in a man. When asked at the time, she replied, "I like someone who is ambitious and has direction, and has some money."
