It's not an easy thing to find, and you're not exactly supposed to go into the situation looking for love,
per se. I see dating as way out of whack in young American society, as everyone looks to find one person right away.
I'm more of a dabbler; I like to date a lot of girls, but I
never sleep around. Although some might say that my restraint from increased sexual activity holds me back one way or another, I like to think of sex as spiritual as well as physical, and don't engage in it unless there's a strong bond between me and my partner.
This is difficult on some of the girls I date, however, as they're not all used to this sort of situation. I always try to make my intentions known and be completely honest that I'm just in a dating situation and I'm not looking to settle down immediately, although there's someone I've got my eye on.
Just enjoy what you've got for now, and don't try to force anything. Also, the more you learn to love yourself the more others will be able to learn to love you! You don't have to be perfect to be lovable, I'm still a shred overweight but it doesn't slow me down. Just keep working on improving and love yourself for your 'self' and your efforts!
