I would be proud to be your friend. You have courage to carry on in this life.
I was under the impression for many years that I would wait for a man to save me from my unhappy parent, from my unhappy coworkers, from my unhappy life, but the truth is that no one can really save me. Isn't it true that the best savers in the world are paid for it? Think of firefighters and police officers? I don't think most of them would save lives (or even have the capabilities to save lives) if they weren't trained at some point and weren't paid. So try and get the idea out of your head that some guy will magically appear and save you from unhappiness. Think Oprah here.
Our society doesn't even make sense on a rational level. Burns aren't carried from one generation to the next as so many diseases and disorders are. Think of diabetes, mental illness, breast cancer, acne, STDs, blood disorders and other cancers. A lot of people with these illnesses go on to lead fulfilling lives. Why not you?
Also realize that you aren't the only one having trouble finding a mate. Even beautiful, successful women have a hard time finding a mate. Why? People become pickier and pickier the more money they make. Take for instance the magazine my Dad receives from the U of Penn, an ivy league school. It frequently advertises a dating service exclusively for Penn alum. Other "exclusive" mags run similar ads once in a while. People want to be with their own flock--they don't want anyone with less intelligence or standing in society. Beautiful people want to be with other beautiful people. Everyone wants to be in love with himself-- not another.
This growing narcisissm is really destroying a large segment of society. But if you can't beat them, join them, right? There are dating sites for Christian singles. Have you ever tried one of those? (Honestly, I think you are as likely to run into a sociopath here as anywhere else, but I think it could be a start.) Is there a singles group at your alma mater? What about any social groups where you live? Bowling club? Realistically, there probably aren't that many burn victims per square mile where you live. So the likelihood that you will find a man who is a burn victim around your age is highly unlikely. Do you volunteer at the local Shriners? Or give a talk every now and then?
My Mom says that men are sharks. This is a metaphor. How do you bait a shark? You bait a shark with blood, but they will want to eat you. So it's probably best not to bait a shark anyways. Most women bait men and vice versa, but acquiring a mate is far removed from loving a husband or wife. It's as far removed as Andromeda and the Milky Way. Perhaps they will collide one day, but no one's going to be happy about it.

Unfortunately, nowadays we, as people, put more emphasis on the appearance than on your character, your achievement and compassion. There is a reason why you survived and it is unknown to us, only the Creator, therefore we have to go on. I do not know if you have read this story:married couple with 2 children, he lost his good position, had to get anything he could, she decide to help the family to work at this restaurant in the evening. After few weeks, she was shot in the face during the robbery. She recovered. You would not recognize the lady. Making story short, her husband said: I love her for ever, no matter how she looks. There are good people in this world, that are respectful, compassionate, loving and understanding, therefore do not close this door, because you will meet the one. Always remember, God will never hurt us. Please, you have to believe that there is a good young man for you. Hold your head high, do not even bother with those people that have no decency to give a simple friendship. Concentrate on you life, you have achieved a lot, be proud of yourself, keep your mind open and everything will work out brilliantly. God bless you with a lot of happiness.
