Hi Colleen. Don't concern yourself with getting yourself a boyfriend or partner. That's not important right now because it sounds like you are looking for someone to fill the void that your late mom has left in your life. I would suggest that you focus on yourself first for now. Get to appreciate the you in Colleen and learn to be by yourself but at the same time focus and strengthen your intimate relationship between you and God through the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Become the woman that God intended you to be in his sight and the right man will be sent at the right time.
God bless you and I hope this makes sense.

Dear Colleen Marie God has a plan for you to be loved and happy . Your soul mate is out there .your friend is not the one for you , while God is guiding you Colleen I would like to ask you to find a passion like hiking or bowling or wine tasting .take a class or join a group and do this and you will gain more confidence as well as meet new people to socialize with and it might help you to meet a soul mate . You have to get out there , out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself . I know you are shy but believe me this will work . Join an organization , group that will give you joy . You run do a Marathon, help people Join habitat to renovate or build homes . Just find a passion and do it and you will meet people more likeminded . There is a sea of potential interest . God bless you and I know your soul mate is out there just help them find you and find yourself as well 🙏

You a thoughtful selfless person who is always praying for others. There comes a time in our lives when we ourselves need prayers too. Hang in there beautiful lady, the right man will come your way when God sees a man that is worthy of your love.

God does have someone for you Colleen, be all God made you to be and he will find you. 😘🤗
