You'll find the right guy in the right time, stop thinking that no one will take you seriously-- if you don't remove that mindset then that will be a self-fulfilling prophecy-- no one will REALLY take you seriously because subconsciously you feel that you're not worthy of being taken seriously. Stop that kind of thinking, no matter what you've gone through, you deserve to be taken seriously. That kind of thinking means that you're too vulnerable emotionally and thus, probably not yet emotionally ready for a new, meaningful relationship.
You yourself admitted that you've made bad decisions in the past. Admitting it is good, but more important is understanding what made you fall down in the past to help you ensure that you won't fall down again in the future. Jumping into a new relationship now without first making sure that you are emotionally ready is I think another bad decision in the making. Men might just take advantage of you.
Take your time. Fix your way of thinking first, you have to learn how to: 1. love yourself
2. respect yourself
3. respect your body
before you take the plunge. And while you're on it, it won't harm to engage in sports (e.g. running, badminton, swimming or other exhausting sports) so you can channel your ***ual energy positively for the meantime.
Just my 2 cents.
