Letting Go of Romantic Feelings

I'm not actually in a relationship, so I'm sure the moderators will kick me out if this doesn't work here.

Ever since I graduated two months ago from college and ever since I started Wellbutrin, my sex drive has been going crazy (which is more complicated since I've never had sex), but moreso the wanting of romantic love has been way turned up. Almost every other thought revolves around sex or being in a relationship and wanting. The thing is, I don't need a relationship now, or rather it's not the right time for me to be in one. I'm unemployed, I live with my parents, I have a beat up car, I have only a few decent outfits, I have acne and I'm about 70 pounds overweight. I'm not good boyfriend material and I recognize that, but I can't seem to keep the wanting and desire at bay. Furthermore I know relationships come when you least expect it, when you're doing your thing but I can't seem to get my heart and mind on the same page. Oh I also have depression I'm being treated for and I've only had one relationship 8 years ago.

I was just wondering if anyone had any tactics or meditation exercises for processing desires or keeping them at bay? It's really interfering with my concentration and the desire is a longing that just makes my depression worst. I know the best way is to get involved in something you love and I'm trying that and going to volunteer, but it's still there.

I'm not really looking to be talked into go out searching for love 'cause now is not the right time.
