Scottish spinster SUSAN BOYLE is too scared to try out Internet dating in her quest for love.

The 51-year-old single singer is desperate to find her soulmate but she wants an old-fashion romance and has ruled out surfing the web to find her perfect man.

She tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Internet dating? Are you having a laugh? Knowing my luck I'd go out on a date and you'd find my limbs scattered around various (Scottish town) Blackburn dustbins!

"I believe in letting things happen naturally and not shopping for a man on the Internet. If my soulmate is out there then I will find him but it won't be on a computer."

However, Boyle has accepted she may never find Mr. Right, adding, "Of course I'd like that special someone in my life, but I'm not going to let a man define me. I've done pretty well over the past 51 years without one but it would be nice."
