If they use past experiances as a base, I think Ruby may be less inclined to find love because of her mother.

It might be just me, but I get the sense from Red like Roses II that Ruby resents her mother a little for leaving her and that may be the reason why she has trouble making friend in the beginning, because she's afraid they would leave her too. Love would definately be ten times worse, though it would be an interesting plot point to see her overcome it with the right person.
