I also feel it necessary to point out that if you are only looking for a girlfriend to fill a void in your life, that is a rather selfish motive. Love is a two-way realationship, so perhaps you should think more about what you could do for the the person God sends you, rather than the other way around.
I will pray that God's will is done in your life in this area. God answers every prayer. Sometimes though, the answer is no, or wait. These answers are the hardest to accept. Believe me, I empathize with you on the relationships thing, I'm single and lonely myself, but that doesn't have to drive you nuts. Enjoy the single life that God has given you while you still have it, and seek Him first in all things. If you do that, you can be sure that everything will turn out alright.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

But I will definitely pray for you. I will pray that God will bring someone special into your life, someone that can help you grow in your faith and can be helped by you in her faith. But remember, unless you feel absolutely confident that you can life through the rest of your life, single, you are not ready for a relationship...am I making sense?
I don't want to sound preachy...it's just something that I've learned in a Bible study group. It's totally and completely 100% true. Unless you can live through your life when it's just God and you, having a relationship will probably not lessen your problems.
As for words of encouragement...
Don't let Satan get to you with his lies and deceit! Whenever he whispers in your ear, "See? People don't even think that you're Christian! How can you say that you love Jesus when people think that about you?"
You know what you need to do? Tell Satan to shut his mouth, because you've got the Rock, the Great Amen on your side!
I will pray for you, and I pray that the Holy Spirit inside you will just overflow and pour out SO much that the people around you will see the light in you, see Jesus in you, and they will all surround you and encourage you. And always trust God to guide you in every decision...He never fails!
Stay strong in your faith, brother! And don't you ever feel lost with Jesus, because He is the Truth, and the Truth will set you free!
In Christ's Love,
Lili
