Going within vs. going out to find love...

Dear Katherine:
I am finding myself very internal these days, spending lots of time alone meditating and examing my life. One of my 2008 New Years intentions is to find love. I've not been in a relationship for over ten years now but I'm still very outgoing and I spend lots of time with friends and family. So, I'm a little worried about my somewhat out of character desire to retreat and I am questioning my current reclusive status. Is it OK for me to withdraw myself socially for now or do you think I should be out trying to meet new men and "duty dating" as others tell me I should be doing? Kate Austin, TX
