If you haven't actually read what you typed, this should be sending warning signals all over your brain. It makes complete sense why you think you need a significant other if you rely on them for your happiness. No S/O = not happy, and happiness is a desired state of being.

Your first step seems to be finding a way to make yourself happy that does not rely on other people. Only then, the absence of a S/O will still be missed, but it will not be a need. When you do end up with a S/O again, your relationship will be that much more healthy because you have you have established who YOU are, and the new person only helps to enhance that feeling, not create it.
