The standard self-help guru advice is that I need to become more independent and more comfortable with myself, and to build up an amazing fulfilling satisfying life such that I don't feel that I need a relationship to complete me. But no amount of awesomeness in my life has been able to take the place of a real person by my side to go do stuff with.
I'm generally distrustful of gurus, and I think that kind of advice is a good reason for skepticism. I don't think it's emotionally healthy to go too long without an intimate relationship with someone. For people like me, anyway.
You might want to consider going to see a therapist. Self-help books are written to sell, not necessarily to be of use to anyone. A therapist could help you figure out what's holding you back. Believe me, there are tons of people out there who would love to love you.
