But they were always taken.. it is hard to find a good looking lawyer single lol.. they get taken pretty quickly... and me..i am just a secreatary and i am not at all good looking. Moreover i dont even work in an office now... so i dont even know if i can attract such a man?? What do you think??

Please take my suggestions with grain of salt, but here is a little bit of my story that hopefully is relevant and may give you some insight. Personally, I would take the opportunity to consider going on a date or two with someone who doesn't necessarily fulfill all of your professional and financial requirements.
When my wife and I started dating, she made it clear that she wanted me for me, not because of my social and professional status. I know this because I was very much lacking in these areas. We fell in love and ended up getting married. So, fast forward to now, because of her unwaivering love, commitment, and support during those hard times, I was able to really focus on being a provider and the best husband I could possibly be. I got and stayed clean and sober, I got a really great job that allows her the financial freedom to go back to college and earn her degree (she's going to graduate with a 4.0 and I am so incredibly proud of her), we were able to buy a house, I was able to buy her a really nice and reliable vehicle. I have examples for days of the professional and financial side, but the best part is that we really love and work well together. I wake up every morning so grateful that we have what we have. I like to wake up earily to make her coffee because I believe it is the least I can do for the love of my life and what she has done for me. We have all of these things because she took a chance on me. She didn't judge a book by it's cover and she really got to know who I am on the inside. I had no confidence before. Now, I hardly recognize the guy she originally met. I felt that she was so incredibly out of my league too. Sometimes, I think about this and look at my picture and finally think to myself "that guy is pretty good looking".
The moral of my rant is this... Learn to take a chance on someone and never ever judge a book by it's cover. You never know what you might be passing up.
Good luck
