Loneliness is something I struggled with off and on all through high school and college. I, unfortunately, didn't see that my loneliness was what drove me to want to be in relationships all the time. (The fact that you see the connection between the two is a good thing!) So when guys started to take notice of me (just like you), I jumped at the chance to be in a relationship. But because I got into those relationships for the wrong reasons, they never filled that hole in my heart. So when they ended, I just felt even lonelier.

A guy can never completely fulfill us, sis. The sooner we learn to let God be everything to us, the sooner that loneliness will go away. I mean, it may not completely disappear, but when God is truly the center of our lives, we can look that naggy little loneliness in the eyes and say, "I'm not going to give in to you!" We can be content not being in a relationship even when we do feel a little (or a lot!) lonely, knowing that God is everything that we need, and that even if we were in a relationship, it wouldn't fix the problem.

Love,
