My advice in general (not just to you Konfused, but to all) would be:
1) Don't EVER delude yourself into believing this desire will fade away. Marriage, promises, a great job, vows, "the right girl", purging, children, a great golf swing, mortgages, a college education, fast lawnmowers, none of it, NONE OF IT, will "make it go away", never to return. It is part of your life. It is you. For better or worse, it is you.
2) Be up front and honest with potential life mates early. You owe it to them. It won't be easy and it will lose you friends now n' then but it's best in the long run.
