Spreadlove, I think you are going through something that is quite normal! Once someone gets out of a relationship, it is not unusual to feel like you need someone to be there for you... and one year without a girl is not really that bad! I think if you look around for a girl to be with, you are just going to end up with someone who might not be the right one for you. Like loote said, the most cherishable relationship comes to your life when you least expect it. I dont think actively seeking a girl would be the solution to your problems. It would bring you instant gratification, but might not be the solution in the long run! Engulf your self in the environment around you.. and slowly it will be alright! (Dont get depressed because you are getting the same advice!:P)
