"Alexandra Burke has revealed that she has trust issues with men after her first love broke her heart. The &amp;#039;Start Without You&amp;#039; singer confessed to Bang Showbiz that her romantic life has continued to suffer following a crushing experience in her teenage years. &amp;quot;When I was 18 my first boyfriend cheated on me,&amp;quot; she revealed. &amp;quot;It was horrible. I have severe trust issues which mean I don&amp;#039;t do the dating thing any more. &amp;quot;I went on a date a few months ago and realised that I can&amp;#039;t do a relationship. I&amp;#039;m scared of getting hurt. I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ve ever been in love and I don&amp;#039;t know what it feels like.&amp;quot; Despite her insecurities, Burke is still holding out hope that she will one day discover her dream man. &amp;quot;I want someone who I can trust, who makes me smile and who stands on their own two feet,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not looking for love because when you look you don&amp;#039;t find it. I&amp;#039;m sitting back and hoping it finds its way to me.&amp;quot; The last person Burke was romantically linked to was Kelly Brook&amp;#039;s ex, rugby star Danny Cipriani, who she was spotted kissing in a club in July.
