What a mess

I am in love with my ex but I don't want to be with my ex. We're friends and it's taken a long time to get to this point, he isn't the type of man I want to be with but I don't want to be with anyone else.
There's no one else on the horizon and I don't know if there ever will be, I don't seem to be the type of woman that men want to be in a relationship with. I'm so sad I'm so lonely I'm so scared I'll never find anyone else and will have to stand back and watch as he moves on.
I also have this feeling (I'm not woo) that he will come back to me and even though I don't want to be with him I really want him to come back to me. He's shown me no indication that he will come back to me I have this constant thought that he will.
I need help.

Oh op you sound so down.

How long since you split up?

You will meet someone else and of course you the type of woman a man would want!

I am down.

It's been nine months.

I don't believe I will.

He didn't want to be in a relationship anymore. He was busy with work and his family (parents and sisters) and there was no time left for us.
