I think that instead of looking for prince charmings you should concentrate on yourself and the issues you talked about: depression, low self esteem, not trusting others. You can't really have good, close, healthy relationships with others until you have one with yourself.
Supportive family, friends and a therapist or school counselor can help you with this. Any prince charmings would be a side track to your ultimate goal of having a good relationship with a real boyfriend or husband.
If you only feel good about yourself because of someone else, when that someone isn't feeling great about you or is angry with you, you will suffer. You will also burn that other person out because you are so dependent and needy in your relationship. You need them to make you feel good about yourself all the time. When you are happy with yourself, then you can be happy in a relationship with a boyfriend or husband. You deserve to take care of yourself. You deserve to learn - really feel it in your gut - what a perfectly acceptable human being you are, just as you are.
