Relationship with God as lover-is this absurd?

I've been trying to find ways of deepening my spirituality and one idea that came to my mind is to treat God as my lover. I know many of you would be eager to comment on this. But I thought since God loves us all and is genderless, flowing with unconditional love, then I might just let him be my lover! Do you think it's too much to absorb? Actually, I've felt a lot more closer to Him, and loved him more. I am single at the moment and I can't seem to find anyone who can fulfill all my heart's content except God I guess. So, What do you think?

In India , treating God as one's beloved it called bhakti and it is a form of devotion which needs innocence and surrender .. u need 2 fully surrender 2 god and let him take over ur each n every step.

That is interesting to know lonelyfloyd...but how do you practice that, is there any sort of a ritual, a prayer or ceremony?

yea definitely ... bhakti requires that you pray , meditate and serve others.. its is vry important that you do what your guru or spiritual teachers direct you to do.
