OK, I know the feeling, believe me. So if you are experiencing this then you have to take a look into your belief system about relationships. You attract or repel based on your belief system.
If you are getting something you don't want then you must be putting attention on that. I doubt that you are doing this consciously or you wouldn't get that result. I know I was.
If you can make up the person you could see yourself being with and would fulfill a relationship for you, fill that with enough positive emotions then it will come to be. If you have a set of beliefs that you operate from and is contrary to that then it will sabatoge your plans.
You could pick this up from a song on the radio like "Love Hurts" and sing it over and over until you operate on it on a sub conscious level. I know the Righteous Brothers really gave me some bad information with their music.
Bobby Stevens in her interview asks the question if there is anything in her Belief System that would prevent her from attaining whatever she was targeting. If she gets something back , then she knows she has to work through this before she can get what she wants.
My other advice is don't go swimming seas for anyone but yourself. If you want to do that, do it for yourself first because you want to. Don't do it to prove love for someone else.
