im not sure that beginning a relationship is the best idea, if you are depressed. i would suggest getting out, a little bit at a time. start with seeing some friends, go to a movie, grab a bite to eat. then as you become more social, you can work your way into a relationship. i think aiming for a relationship from the get go, just because someone told you to, isn't the best thing to do. you cant force a relationship, and it is set up for disapointment.
