You're going to get a lot of different answers from a lot of different people (most of them will probably contain either the words "Jesus" or Bible" in them).
All I can say to you is this: read a lot, do some research, learn, and ask lots of questions. If it's a faith that you're seeking, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.
Beliefnet has some great quizzes along the lines of "What religion am I?" and some other good stuff too. Give them a shot! I hope you find what you're looking for :)

It all depends on what you mean by living life to the fullest.
Do you mean having all of the fun and parties that you can? Or bagging as many women as Wilt Chamberlain? Perhaps you to become richer than Bill Gates? Maybe you want to do something good for society?
If you follow the suggestions of those who advised that you get a lover, and chose the party option, the chances are very high that the relationship won't last very long. End result; you will be worse than you began.
Choose the women option, and you increase your risk or getting AIDS, or other STDs. And, if you try to string too many at one time, your whole world can fall apart, especially if you create a lot of children. (Child support payments are going higher.)
Money can not buy happiness, but it can buy a lot of other things and earn you a lot of stress and unhappiness.
Or you can choose Jesus. He can be a friend who never leaves you. He can give you the perfect woman to be with you for the rest of your life. He might even allow you to have earn more money than the average person. And with all of this, you can be a blessing to society.
You have a lot more options, but the choice is yours. Choose wisely.

Hmm, I don't know your age or your religious persuasion. Sometimes it is a service opportunity we are missing out on. Sometimes we are in-between setting spiritual goals and aren't sure what goals come next. I am kind of going through that phase right now, too. As a Mormon, I am trying to decide how to use creative writing talents to write plays and compose music, but I would also like to learn more about the context of scriptures. For now that means looking at books written by LDS scholar Cleon Skousen, who died last January. Since we are studying the Old Testament in Sunday School right now, I am curious to see more of what makes scriptures relevant to everyone of every age, including young children. Here's another possibility, something the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has that is missing from other churches is the doctrine of the pre-mortal life. I believe that all of us existed as spirit children of God in a pre-mortal realm before coming here to earth. There is something called a veil placed over our minds so we have to live by faith. However, because we have extremely intelligent spirits, we often get that feeling that "something is missing," because we run into people or situations that remind us of the pre-mortal life and the potential we may not be using at this point in time. But that is a normal and often re-occurring feeling - it may mean that you are about to start a quest for answers or a new learning experience with new people. Have a happy day!

Live life as if it is your last minute. Do evrything you want to do NOW, before the wife and kids arrive. So often I have heard people say, when I retire, the problem there is that a person is either too ill, or too old to do much of anything. I did what I wanted to do, selfish possibly, but fun, yes. And acquired knowledge and experience first hand that can not be gotten from sitting in a class room just talking about it. Just do it. After I had accomplished what I wanted to do then I found someone to settle down with. My age? You don't want to know, it would shock your socks off.

You might benefit from meditation. There are many good books on it..chances are if you look for one you'll find the right one for you. but meditate and learn to turn off your inner dialouge then see how you feel about that thing you think you are missing...oh and these people that say a girlfriend is what you are missing are probably draining the life energy out of their partner.

What do you feel passionate about? I would put all my energy into whatever I feel strongly about. Some people are anti-abortion, some are environmental activists, some work with disadvantaged children...what's in your heart? Whatever it is, follow it and you will have lived your life as fully as possible. And although many say you simply need to find Jesus, I don't know if that in itself makes your life whole. Good luck!

What does it mean for you to live life to the fullest? If you are living only for yourself and what you want and enjoy then I think you will always feel empty. If you live your life trying to do what you can to help others, giving yourself to people and causes beyond yourself you will fiind meaning.

Maybe you need a girlfriend, or boyfriend, whatever you're into. Just don't become a Hell-fire Born Again Christian. No body will want to be around you and you'll be angry all the time.

It is LOVE-BOND you are missing and feeling a void in your life.You may live your life with all the comforts but comfort of devotionaly loving some one and surrendering your self completely is far superior.

Meditate on this. You sound like you need to have a purpose and a direction in your life. Find what is really important to you, what you would like to do with your life, and make conscious decisions to move your life in that direction.
