I think that's where you need to start - getting over this concept about yourself.
Yes, we all "need' human companionship and a sense of belonging (the hierarchy of needs and all that), and everyone would love to be loved, but the most well-adjusted, secure and successful people with relationships are the ones who don't perceive themselves as in need of someone else to make them feel accepted or complete. None of us are half people, we are all complete unless we see ourselves as otherwise.
Not sure if what I'm trying to say is coming across correctly, but it's kind of like the need for approval - those who feel they need it are those who rarely get it by constantly striving for it. While those who don't need it are the ones who more readily get it.
Work on shoring up your own sense of independence, security, self worth, self esteem and confidence, and that will help you eventually attract someone who is likewise.
