Deducing the rules of attraction

X_:
I don't get it. All the single people I know are all great people, but they are still single.
Me:
I think there is more to it than that.
X_:
I mean, I think R_ is awesome. I would marry her if she were a guy. I would totally stay home and be the house wife and let her go to work.
Me:
Being a great person isn't enough though. Look at you and me. We are both great people, but it didn't work out. There are other things involved. I was too independent, and insensitive and, hell, we could probably find a dozen ways we didn't connect. We are still good and interesting people, but that wasn't enough to make it work.

Me:
It's possible I will never get married.
X_:
Why do you say that?
Me:
I think my problem is I am attracted to the wrong women.
X_:
The wrong women?
Me:
Well, I have always been drawn to really smart and independent and ambitious women; the sort of woman that doesn't need me.
X_:
You want someone who needs you?
Me:
No, I don't. And that's the problem. The women I'm attracted to are all following their own path in life, they are working toward something different than what I am working toward. Their goals and mine don't match. I don't fit into their life and they don't fit into mine.
X_:
I get ya.
Me:
I need to learn to be attracted to submissive, unambitious women.

my head has been spinning with thoughts like this for the last weeks...I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever get married again and I'm terrified to be alone but don't know what's "right". UGH! Relationships!
