Okay I really haven't talked to you in years, but I can really relate to what you posted so...
I think our culture perpetuates the glamour of dating, or instant cake-mix romance, and Hollywood getaways. But just like everything else, reality is different. Tara I remember you as being such a sweet girl, I would encourage you to look for guys who respect you so much they're willing to say no to physical intimacy. Guys who are interested in who you are, and who you want to become. Because I bet you deserve it, and then some.
It's hard, and I'm not one to talk, but I really believe this is how meaningful relationships begin. In our culture, sex comes first, and meaning comes later. Ha.
But anyway I hope I wasn't too bold, I just think about this stuff all the time, so I got on my soapbox. :) The lonely feelings are tough but result in a lot of growth. I haven't been with anyone for over a year, so you're not alone!
