Does "the one" really exist?

I am so happy to finally be divorced with no ties to my ExN.
I am not ready for a relationship however my therapist encouraged me to meet other men and look for qualities of a good guy.I am very social and didn't have to look for men to get to know, they came to me. I've had a few that I don't want to know and have had to learn how to say no thank you. There are a couple that I enjoy visiting with and I have let them know that I just want to be friends.
I meet people through business all day every day. I find myself looking around at men in general and I don't see anything attractive about any of them. I had such an intense attraction to my N when we met and I'm I'm just worried that I will never feel that way again.
Now, I realize that the man that I fell in love with wasn't real. I have done the work and I see the entire relationship for what it was. I have no desire to ever see him again. I'm also on protection mode with myself.
I know that I am still working on me and that I am not ready for a relationship. I'm concerned that I will always find the good guys boring. I'm afraid that if I feel an intense attraction again that it will be because he is a bad guy. I hope that I'm making sense.
So, from those that have gotten through this. Please tell me that when I am ready it will be possible to feel the intense attraction and romance from a good guy.
