You've been in two relationships fairly recently in the past and my recommendation is to take time and take care of yourself. You're not ready to move into another relationship yet. Finding peace and happiness within yourself is important, not finding your happiness in another relationship. Don't let your happiness hinge on whether you have a man in your life or not.
My daughter went through a time just like you're talking about. Her friends were married and having children and she had dated a couple of guys but things didn't work out. She finally dated a guy that she had plenty of warning about but decided to date him anyway (because she felt like anyone was better than no one). She moved in with him and they had problems but she ignored them and they eloped in October (we knew about it ahead of time). She didn't know him as well as she thought that she did and we have dealt with his being an alcoholic and addiction to prescription drugs. We found out that he owes thousands in fines and fees for being arrested. He's dealing with court stuff now and will be spending time in jail, which is a long story in it's self. They've been married two months now.

I guess that my advice is that there are worse things than being single. There is someone who is right for you but you have to take the time to find him. Don't just think with your heart (which is what my daughter has done) but also think with your head. I don't know if you're a Christian but my best advice is to pray about the man that you'll marry. Pray that when you meet him that you'll know without a doubt that he is the one for you. I hope that I've been helpful and good luck.
