I think I should do that, but I find it incredibly hard to do when I live in a place where literally all my local friends are in relationships and I am always the only single person. It's depressing because it sort of reinforces what I am trying to overcome - the sense that being in a relationship is normal and I am somehow deviant (apart from the fact that I really do very much enjoy being in a committed relationship).
Sorry for being off-topic...we can split this into a thread called "Modern dating woes" if it's a problem.
