I think we project what we carry on the back burners of our hearts & minds. Your "film" is "WANT HUSBAND/DADDY!!!!!!!!!!"

For a man that can instantly translate as:
Needy
Money
Responsibility
Needy
Needy
Money

As a longterm proposition, I imagine you'd scare guys off.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I see this all the time. Relax. Stay in the present. Just take care of now. If your nows are full, rich, satisfying then what follow probably will be more of the same.

Does that make sense?
