It's worth it, because love is the ultimate form of loyalty. An ISTJ that loves you is one of the greatest gifts a non-ISTJ can ever receive.
Well, it's been 2 1/2 years since I created this post and asked the question. I'm 29 now and my life has changed quite a bit since then. I was actually able to stick to my life plan exactly as I described in that first post. I even got married, believe it or not, to the first girl I had the guts to ask out on a date.
I wish I could say that the replies to my post had something to do with it, but in reality, I just needed be patient and let life happen. It all worked out, and love has transformed me into a better person. Experience was the solution.
To any lonely, single, virgin ISTJ's out there in the same situation that I was, be patient. Get your ducks in a row if you need to, and don't get discouraged. Love isn't trouble, it's a process. Sure there's uncontrollable hormones and foolishness, but there's also potential for a deep and rewarding friendship and the luxury of completely being yourself without fear of rejection.
To my clueless and ignorant past self: YES! Love is most definitely worth the trouble!
What a silly question...
