>.> Wow...already some 'hecka' good posters in here. You attract neat people, hhhlga89!
For me, being a 23 year old single male as well, I can feel ya, and relate to an extent. It's not every waking moment for me, but there was a time when it was intensely more potent than now.
Thing is, that...let's just say...wavering obsession...of mine, lead me into several relationships. To be honest, between my middle school to present days...I've had a dozen+ girlfriends, and that means that while I've learned a lot and had some great times....I've also had 12+ heart-breaks, people I've shared firsts with, and things which in some ways might strengthen future relationships...but in many other ways hurts them.
I finally got to a place where, while this still is a deep desire in me which can get the better of me at times, I've sort of half-given up. You see, about year ago...after going through more of this tricky dating stuff...I prayed to God and was like...'You can have this, Father. I'm not saying I won't put myself out there, because I will...but help me, because I'm tired of all the mess I make on my own." (not exactly, but something like this...)
About 4 years ago, I cried out to The LORD to take my loneliness from me, because I couldn't handle it anymore. On another night of crying myself to sleep as what seemed like 'the nothing' from Everlasting Story was destroying my insides....I cried out, "God, please take this from me, because I'm going to die if I have to keep living this way..." (Long story short...I had gotten to the place of never feeling anything other than desperately alone/depressed...)
Next morning, I woke up, and I didn't feel alone!!! Seriously!! God had replaced my 'lonely nothingness' overnight with HIMSELF!! XD So now, to varying degrees, I feel His presence with me...instead of isolation...even when alone!!
So...between those two things...I'm waiting. I no longer have loneliness crushing me (which in retrospect, no person probably could have changed anyway), and I've had enough complicated-heart-ache related stuff to not be a ravenous dog looking for scraps when it comes to having a relationship.
I'm sure where you are, or what's gone on with you, but trust me, dude, cry out to God. He's got you! Seriously. I'm not saying you have 'half-give up' like me, but maybe there's some sort of happy medium, where God can break through a lot more than it seems like now, and you can break through to Him. It is hard, and seems long...(whether that's 3 years or 30 depending on who you are...), but when is being with God ever not worth it?? =3
