My guess would be that you are so close to meeting someone who may be that special someone, and Satan knows you are "hungry," so he's trying to fill you with an appetizer, instead of letting you enjoy God's meal. Let me give an analogy, since I'm better at that.
Let's say you were on your way to a really nice steak dinner, but the restaurant was an hour away, and you were really starving. You are so hungry you could eat a house. Well, on your way, you see all kinds of fast food restaurants. McDonald's, etc. You could stop and get a quick cheeseburger to "tide yourself over," but that grade D meat would NEVER compare to the Grade A steak you were on your way to enjoy. And worse, by the time you get to the steak restaurant, your appetite may not even be as strong as it was (if you didn't have that cheap burger). That's how I think it is with God. So many times when God has been in the midst of blessing me, something negative overcomes me, and often I have no idea where it comes from. But if I just trust, and press on, He delivers! ALWAYS!
Sorry for the long post, but I hope this helps!
Excellent analogy! I'll have to keep this one warm in the back of my mind for when I need it.
