I have some of the same feelings...

I too wonder when I'm ever going to meet someone. it seems never to come soon enough, but patience certainly helps. here are some quotes i've compiled on patience:

"The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen."

"How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?"

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience."

"Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself."

"Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty."

"Endurance is patience concentrated"

“The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.”

When you say "alone", are you talking about loneliness with regard to being out of a relationship, or the fact that no ones around, or both?

It sounds maybe like self esteem is in the gutter from these a-holes choosing someone over you. well, if you're a catch then it's there loss. they can't be with you, and they lost.
