Really Need Some Good Pagan Advice

Honestly, it me it sounds like you are going through what everyone goes through when looking for love. I want to avoid the genetic "you're young, something better will come along" comment here, so I'll tell you what I did when I was 22.

I was single and had been dumped for the third time by this gal I met when I started college. Yeah, I was dumb to keep going back even though I felt there was nothing we had in common. Even though it hurt me to think of the words "I don't think I love you anymore." It made me wonder why. We were polar opposites, she was baptist and I was pagan (undetermined at the time). I sat down and wrote out the qualities that I saw in a woman, then in another column, I wrote out what I liked and disliked in myself. I crossed out superficial things and focused on what would make me happy in a future mate. I meditated and started paying attentions to my dreams. I won't lie, it took a few years and a few women to find that right one. After searching, And not finding "the one", I just stopped. I went to a few dating sites, anchored myself, and cast out a beacon in the hopes that I would attract the one that I was made for. Then one day, she just showed up. We spoke online for a few months, exchanged pictures, had deep discussions, spoke on the phone, then after 6-7 months, I mustered the courage and flew out to see her. I knew I was in really in love when I finally got to hold her in my arms.

Two years later we had our handfasting. We've been married 13 years now and have a two year old son. We are still madly in love just the first time we laid eyes on each other. She is my equal and travel companion through the path of life. She is exactly who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, all I did was be myself.
