Hi Alphagirl,
A lot of people need the love of someone else to feel their own self love and self worth, if this is the case here, I will suggest that you work on improving your self-love and self-worth.
Use affirmations
"I'm totally loved" The more you have self-love the more the other people will love you, the outside love from other people will be multiplied.
Like attracts like.
There is a fictional story that explains what I m telling you , you can read it in the book called
The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship (Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz.
If you are the kind of person who only wear beautiful clothes when you have to meet someone special, then consider to put beautiful clothes when you are alone because you are the one special in first place.
The more you treat yourself like you are the love of your life, the better you will do as far as relationship and attraction is concerned also doing so will improve your personal magnetism not only around people but you will attract the things you want faster.
