Is there anything wrong with walking away from everything?

Sounds like one of the symptoms of awakening.
At 28 you are going through what is termed a "Saturn return" in your astrological chart. This is always a wake-up call, usually accompanied by a slap in the face. Some of us equate this to being lifted off a city street and dropped into a trackless swamp to fight our way out of it for the next couple of years. Some people are already on track and so their lives go on unimpeded.
Basically, you need to spend some time in contemplation, figuring out things and making some plans. Not every female out there is a nincompoop gold-digger. You need to find people of your own sort... consider professional associations and other types of networking... consider some hobby based groups at Meetup.com.
Believe it or not, you will meet really wonderful people at gun ranges! The girls are confident and the boys are polite gentlemen.
I have one young man friend who got tired of doing the on-line dating... discovered the girls on ChristianMingle are mostly damaged goods (psychologically at least), and started dating older ladies... and discovered that was a ton of fun because the women are not needy or feeling their biological clock ticking.
Get out there and be open to new experiences. Approach life and people as if you were an alien meeting all of these for the first time, being open and still analytical.
