Different take from the poster above as I was in a similar situation as you.

​

I broke up with a girl 5 years ago and have had some "flings" but nothing too serious. I wouldnt say I am a sad person but Im not happy either. I do not have problem being alone though.

​

Recently this girl came into my life and I know the crap people say - you can only love someone else after you love yourself - but we did try it anyway. I wouldnt say Im much happier now than before but its a nice feeling to cuddle with someone or know that they think about you. What I mean is I dont believe you have to be content with yourself and only then find someone else.

​

My advice would be just go for it and try to find a girl. Doesnt matter youre not happy now or that you dont love yourself. Dont get too attached and you will be fine. Its worth a shot and maybe you will actually realize the girl was the one piece of puzzle that you were missing.
