Men find u. Also, you apparently have a wonderful heart and I'll tell you how I know this. You have faith that that the right guy is still out there but beware, your mistake can and will repeat itself. If you are not aware of the fact that you were probably trying to find what you had.

One of my best friends used to do the same thing...she is so strong and seemed to migrate towards guys with low self-esteem and childhood baggage. Then, she'd help build their confidence but, in the end, their confidence [insert other baggage items here] were all contingent upon her being present in there life. As soon as she left, they fell apart. So, point is, if you are doing it because you have a sweet spot for helping people, please know that you aren't helping them unless you get them to help themselves. If they do that successfully, they won't be living in your shadow anymore. If that makes sense, great! If it doesn't, please ignore me. :)

Hmmm...I dunno but if you recognize that you're doing that then it shouldn't be too hard to stop :)
