I've never done the online dating thing, but I know friends who have. And I cannot say they've been too happy with the results. Don't feel bad. Online, people are judging you based on a few answers to profile questions and a photo. That's it. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.
My advice, though, would be to try something a little more concrete. Like speed dating (I've never tried it, but I've heard it was fun). Also, getting involved in activities that will have more individuals of your age group/interest group. Volunteering for all kinds of things can be great. Learn how to discern the fruits of the Spirit so that you can spot a catch when you see one. [;)] Do not automatically assume that you will only meet christian guys at church. Sometimes, church creates passive men. I've met christian guys that do not go to church, and they can be more aggressive and seek less "perfection." (i.e. they are realistic).
Open up a little more, talk to people you normally wouldn't. Watch for that Spiritual fruit as you interact. If you're invited somewhere, GO! (pray of course). Also reconcile in your mind that its okay to like a guy. I fully reserve the right to act like a dreamy girly girl in love when I meet Mr. Right. LOL[:D]. I fully reserve the right to call him my, "Big strong hunk" and lavish him with my affections. A lot of singles are afraid to show their emotions. It's okay to like someone, smile and make eye contact. It's okay to be girly and giggly with a guy. Most guys take their cues from such action anyway. I'm not saying to act in any way that is unnatural for you, but rather don't stifle anything either.
Don't give up!
