Good advice by everyone. I think you need to learn to accept yourself as you are, single. It is possible to be happy without someone. I also think you should improve your self esteem. Are you in therapy?
However, if you really want to meet someone and don't like dating online - I don't either - joining local interest groups and singles clubs could be the way to go.
I think the library is a good way to get attention too. Especially if its a place you frequent.
Remember that relationships can come at a cost. Be careful what you wish for. But good luck all the same! I wish you happiness.
One more thing...you said you always wanted to be a lawyer. Why not go to law school. Just a thought. Also, why do you say "just" a secretary? You were probably the foundation that kept the place together. Give yourself more credit.
