You can only know when your prayer is answered once you have discovered some correlation that even vaguely resembles the content of your prayer. At this stage, you can presume that God's default position "not yet" is in effect, and will remain so until either 1) you hook up with Brooke Pancake, or 2) something more gratifying happens (which could be anything!)
The important thing is just to stick with it, and have faith.

ah, so the silence is actually God answering "not yet" and if I keep praying and believing, God could possibly upgrade me to "I have something better in mind" and deliver Natalie Gulbis, sometime in the future.
awesome.
I'm a believer, Oh Lord.
