This guy sounds like a user and a looser. His eyes aren't passing right over you, because you are so above this guy. He won't treat you any differently, even if you were married, he would still be treating you like a toilet. Life is obviously all about him!
It is tough to be alone, but until you can begin to respect yourself enough to feel like a whole person, it won't matter who you find. The good relationships are when neither of you NEED each other, but do COMPLETE each other.
