I too am feeling that tug to be involved with someone. I'm having periods when I am alone and feeling intensely lonely. I see those as two different things. I can be alone, and feel fulfilled and happy. I was once that way, and I can do it again!
Loneliness is an uncomfortable feeling for me, and I think that pursuing a relationship, or being in one, is a way for me to mood alter out of loneliness without dealing with more fundamental issues (translate: painful to face). So there you have the essence of addiction in codependence: relationships as a drug.
Give yourself a big hug for what you accomplished in your divorce. Be a good friend to yourself, and always have your back. You are the one you are waiting for. We only see in others, and draw to ourselves, what we see in ourself. See the highest and best that you are, treat yourself with exquisite care, and watch the world transform around you.
Blessings,
