Sometimes, we feel like nothing is happening and we aren't making progress. If it's that you feel nothing is happening or you have doubts or you simply haven't had any experience, ignore those things. God sees the whole situation. He is preparing for the encounter. Believe that God's word is more true than our experiences. He will give you an encounter. He will give you more than you ask for, which is maybe why you have to wait.
Hold on to faith inspite of how you feel.
I do not know how you are praying. I suggest you pray and speak to God as if he was your father (he is literally your father). Obviously, maintain reverence and respect but don't pray in a way that makes you feel that God is distant. When Jesus taught us to pray, he said to start it off addressing God as father.
I do suggest really focusing on verses that talk about how God relates to you/the relationship a God has with believers
Here's a list on our identity in Christ and how God sees us:

Also, read about Jesus in the gospel. I love to notice details. Luke has a lot of details (it seems Peter helped him write it). Sometimes, you have to pursue God like you would pursue someone else. When you pursue someone, you try to find out what they love, like, hate, dislike. You find what warms their heart and makes them happy. You listen/notice when they express their feeling or let them show (if you really take a close look at Hosea, you can see God's heart for Israel and how he feels towards them. Imagine Hosea sitting down grieving over Gomer's infidelity and prostitution, then God comes in the room tells him to start writing and Hosea realizes the pain he feels and the pain God feels is similar. A lot of times, we de-emotionalize God, thinking that emotions are a human thing. I think God's purpose for the book of Hosea was to show that God wasn't heartlessly judging them or that he was judging them without difficulty on his part.) You pay attention to idiosyncrasies (If you can see it that way, you notice that sometimes God speaks in 3rd person, or maybe it points to God being 3 persons in one). You notice adorable things they do (I love how Jesus endearingly called James and John "sons of thunder"). You notice their humor (Paul said it but Gal 5:12 is funny).
If you're seeking the face of God and not just experiences, then it will come in a better form and quicker than if you were seeking a gift and not the Giver. When I first sought God, all I wanted was reassurance my dreams/aspirations were coming true and that he approved. Then, I began to find comfort in certain verses. My intention wasn't even to search for God as first. It was a full school year before I experienced God. It's different for people because our hearts and needs are different. When I did encounter God is when I got trully saved. If I hadn't gotten saved at that time, I don't know what exactly would happen. If God hadn't gotten me saved by a certain time I think I would've killed myself. I still attempted afterwards, but because of God's grace, God stopped me.
Also, don't ignore your dreams. Sometimes God speaks to us in our sleep. Even the weirdest dreams can be from God. For example, Pharoh's dream must have been really weird to experience. Could you imagine a malnourished cow eat a fat cow?
