Whether we want to admit it or not we all want to love and be loved. It's the human condition. Some of us marry our high-school sweetheart while others go a lifetime without finding someone who truly loves them.
You hear all the time that we have to love our selves before we can love someone else, and I have found that to be true. You seem like you do love your self (not in a narcissistic way) and have a full range of emotions. You're a good guy, so don't be afraid to look for a soul mate. Deep down I bet that you really don't want a woman who loves you because you make a lot of money or drive a fancy car, but loves you because you're a good guy. So if a woman turns you down for a date don't worry about it. Be patient, and you'll probably find love when you're not even looking for it.
Again, I applaud you for not being afraid to be vulnerable.

Yes, deep down I do want somebody to love and understand me and not for money or anything else material, but I don't like being emotionally vulnerable and at another persons mercy so I seek the next best thing: somebody who loves me for something that I have or something that I can do for them that way I can slack on the intimacy part and still gain some type of love.
Since I'm sick of typing because I work from home and type a lot of code and gain 90% of my social life from social media which I do even more typing on, I'm going to link this picture because it describes perfectly how I feel about this topic:
