I wanted a boyfriend so bad but I am so scared to date. I am a Christian and I am hurting because I don't have one to love me at all.

There are a lot of single men on this site. Maybe if you posted more than you have you will attract someone's attention. God loves you but you probably already know this. I have said a prayer for you for God to help you overcome your fear.

If you are that sad about not having someone, and that needy, then the Last thing you need is to be in a relationship. You are not spiritually, mentally or emotionally healthy enough to be in a good relationship. What you need to do first is find your worth and happiness in Christ and learn to recognize you don't 'need' another person to feel loved. If you are hurting that deeply over not having someone, then i suggest you look deep into yourself and find out what the Real source of this is.
And really this isn't a place designed to meet people to date. This is a fellowship site, and that includes the Singles forums. Normally i would tell someone to go to a dating site, but you need to stay far away from dating until you can find yourself in God. Any relationship you would be in, with the current way of thinking of feeling, will end in disaster.

Seek God's plan for your life it may be that He doesn't want you to marry. Don't be desperate as you are more likely to go out with the wrong guy and get hurt. Just pray read your bible and be patient if it is God's will you will have a boyfriend otherwise no go and do God's work instead.

The most important guy in the world loves you. His name is Jesus. :) And he will never leave you or stop loving you.

Have you read a book called Boundaries in Dating? It is a great Christian book I would recommend to all singles. It helped me to see like Ugly mentioned above, that when I was dating someone a few years back that I was still quite unstable in a lot of areas and that I shouldn't have been dating at that time.

When you are satisfied with Jesus, your friendships, and you feel 'complete' (or satisfied) with yourself as a single, that is the time you are ready to date. IMO.

Ugly: nah, I think this one is genuine, at least she's a native English- speaker unlike the other one

Stebe: While people here have found their way together, this isn't really a dating site.
Yea, I know the singles forum kinda of makes that sound like nonsense, but it's more like a hangout for singles than an area intended for dating :)

Sounds like you are confusing not having someone to date with not being loved. It's not the same thing, and I often have to remind myself that though no guy wants to date me; I am well loved and cared for (parents, friends, other family, and sometimes just random helpful strangers). If you aren't already, the best thing you can do is find some activities to get you out and about and feeling more connected to people (even chatting it up with us here at CC can be helpful). Find things to enjoy on your own with whoever is around, and the lonliness will ease a bit. There will still be rough times, but you'll find that choosing to be happy and live your life instead of waiting for Mr. Right to come along and magically make everything perfect (he won't, even the best relationships are hard work and have their challenges) is within your own power.

Visiting with my friend who is back from Thailand for her little sister's wedding. Why were you planning to make a surprise trip, stalker style?

No, the commute from Southwest Tennessee to wherever you are would probably kill my budget for gas money.
