When we're kids (20's?) we fantasize about the perfect lover and it's something from a porno fantasy. It's all about "me, me, me", and my needs. Your ex-girlfriend might still be at that stage in her life, while you've moved on and are looking for something deeper and more meaningful. Look for that same desire for something more, something lasting, in the eyes of Janel.
Some people go their whole lives and never find their soul mate. Some of us are so clouded in our thinking and screwed up in our priorities we don't know WHAT we need, let alone what we want in another person. You sound like you've got a mature head on a pair of still young shoulders. That you're able to pass up the hot "barbie dolls" in favor of finding a real woman shows a good character. I think you're gonna do pretty well for yourself.
Good luck!
