Reading your posts reminds me much of the first time I fell for a Domme online. I can sympathize and at the same time there is so much I would tell you having been through it... but it's a process.
Know that when you find a mentor of sorts, someone you have a deep connection with, whether or not that relationship ever progresses into real life or makes all your dreams come true, you will be able to say all of this to them and they will accept it as a gift - they will see you for you, mirror you, lead you to your own answers, even if their role is mentor and they are not your "One" in the grand scheme of things. If it is not meant to be, and the Dominant states it as such, you can be fairly sure they mean it - of course this doesn't discount the process of letting go of the focus on them, and accepting their true wishes and actions - claiming your own journey.
The first time you feel a connection to a Dominant with your submissive achings overwhelming you is such an intense time of learning and growing. Just something to keep in mind - it can never be all about you, or all about them in a real relationship, a true connection must be reciprocal - even in having a mentor - give and take. It's so easy for all of us to get caught up in our own feelings, and disregard all actions and words from the other that do not fit into the plan, what we want. It's kind of like falling in love for the first time all over again, but this time in a D/s sense - very inspiring, narcissistic, full of growing pains - kind of like being a teenager again lol.
We go about it in our time, as you are obviously doing, but know that the nurture goes both ways in a D/s relationship - the good "pain" and "torture" in BDSM is not about unreturned love and the anguish of alienation and unfulfilled desire.
I am glad you have a place to express yourself. I know when dealing with your submissive feelings there can be such a desire to be heard, to feel you are not alone and that someone understands and is listening. I think there is also a deep desire to have a mentor - they are out there, but that is a tricky walk in itself - resisting the urge to focus and give all to one who is not yours. You may find that you have to own your submission first, before you can really give it to another - but you are on a familiar path and it's all part of the process. I wish you the best.
