There's all this stuff and all these people out there to explore! Shouldn't I be out sowing my wild oats before it's too late? What the hell am I doing here?"
Then I look around at all my single-and-dating friends and realize just how very good I've got it, and before I know it I've got my head pulled out of my ass and I'm ready to go on with my life.
In other words, these thoughts are normal, but they're just thoughts. They don't mean anything.

Once again, Ratbastid (and everyone else who has replied) speaks the truth. The most important question is: are you happy, right now? If so (it sounds like it), then let those little nagging questions just run through your head, do their seductive dance, and then run right out the other side. You don't have to give in to them.
"Shouldn't I..." kind of questions are dead-ends, unless you truly are not happy with your current situation. The grass is usually not much greener, and you might as well enjoy what you have. Count yourself lucky... it really isn't much fun being single just for the sake of being single.
