The reason could be that some scholars do not believe the Holy Prophet (s) had more than one daughter. According to our tradition, he had only one daughter (Fatima (as)). The other daughters according to some traditions were the Children of Khala (Khadija’s Sister). They came to stay with the Holy Prophet (s) when they lost their mother. Another reason could be if we do believe that the Prophet (s) had more than one daughter, would be that they were not at the same status as Fatima (as). Similarly, many of the Imams had many sons but we normally only hear and know of the ones who were destined for Imamate.
This happens to most people regardless of gender. Ask Allah to help you and strive to get in the habit of reading the benefits of salat and acts of worship.

It has been recommended by the Prophet and his household (as) to say the shahadatayn on our death beds and then to reaffirm our beliefs and believing in the wilayat is one of our beliefs.
How to make your soul and mind to think positively?
Shaytan knows our weak points thus we need to realize what they are as well. Just as a country will prepare its military to defend its weak points we must also prepare our army to defend our weak points against our Shaytan. A very effective dua against the Shaytan is:
اللهم إن إبليس عبد من عبيدك يراني من حيث لا أراه وأنت تراه من حيث لا يراك وأنت أقوى على أمره كله وهو لا يقوي على شيء من أمرك, اللهم فأنا أستعين بك عليه يا رب فإن لا طاقة لي به ولا حول ولا قوة لي عليه إلا بك, اللهم إن أرادني فأرده وإن كادني فكده, واكفني شره, وأجعل كيده في نحره برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين, وصلى الله على محمد وآله الطاهرين.
“O Allah, Iblis (Satan) is one of Your creatures who sees me from a place that I cannot see him and You see him from a place that he cannot see You, and You have power over all his affairs while he does not have power over any of Your affairs. Therefore O Allah, I resort to You for help against him, because O Lord (provider, nourisher, sustainer, the one who transforms potentiality into actuality) I do not have any capability against him, no power to change or force to enact, except through You. O Allah, If he intends evil for me, turn it back on him, and if he schemes against me then you scheme against him. Save me from his evil, and make his scheme to attach to his own neck. By Your mercy, O the most merciful of those who show mercy. May Allah bless Muhammad and his purified progeny.”

It will clear many misconceptions for you inshallah. Also read kitab sulaym hadith 4 Here is a small excerpt from the lengthy narration ““Hadhrat Ali (AS) rushed, held him by the neck and pushed him away and Umar fell down and hurt his neck and nose. Hadhrat Ali (AS) intended to kill him. He remembered what the Holy Prophet (SAW) had said, and he said: “By Him, who gave Muhammad the status of Prophethood, O son of Sahak, if the Book from Allah had not been revealed and if the Holy Prophet (SAW) had not taken a promise from me before, then you would have known that you could have never entered my house.”

You can recite ziyarat ashura for 40 consecutive days and ask Allah each day to help you get married.
I have not seen this particular narration but inshallah these following should give some clarification
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) said “Those who look at a non-mahram woman with an evil intention and fill their eyes with this sight (that is they look for a long time) Allah will, on the day of Qiyāma fill (pierce) their eyes with burning rods. They will continue in this way till Allah completes the hearing of the cases of all the people. Only after that will He order them to be thrown into Hell.” (Greater Sins by Ayatollah Dastaghayb Shirazi)
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) said “There is no man who is not to some extent guilty of fornication. The fornication of the eyes is the evil glance, the kiss is the fornication of lips and touching a non-mahram woman is the fornication of hands.” (Greater Sins by Ayatollah Dastaghayb Shirazi)
The Holy Prophet (s) said; “The wrath of Allah is very severe upon the married woman who apart from her husband sees another non-mahram man with a prolonged glance. When this woman does this, Allah the mighty invalidates all her good deeds and does not give her any rewards.” (Greater Sins by Ayatollah Dastaghayb Shirazi)

Is my fast valid?
You should give yourself time before fajr which is called imsak where you stop eating and drink prior to fajr by 10-15 minutes. In your case now you should consider your fast valid but as ihtiyat pay kafarra of feeding 60 people. This can be done anywhere as an example this would cost $30 in Afghanistan or less in Iran. Also as ihtiyat to do the qadha
Wa alaykum salam. No this is not haram
