I don't mean to invalidate your feelings but I feel people often want the things they can't have, and when it comes to love that applies to everyone. I think romantic relationships are put too much on a pedestal in our culture. The truth is that finding true love is a rare thing and it isn't something most of us should expect. And if you do happen to find it in your life, you don't know when. It might have already happened or it might happen when you are 80.

Christian/platonic love can be just as fulfilling or even more so because it doesn't have the carnal aspect. And that's the kind of love you give, rather than expect to receive.
