Is this irrational?

This is kind of a strange two part question and I'm a guy in my mid 20's. First, let me say that I do not like my job and am in the process of actively looking for a new job. In fact I even had an interview last week.

The second part is that I'm also looking to settle down with someone. However, I don't believe that person is where I currently reside which is not too far outside of Washington, D.C. Hence, I'm considering relocating and am considering Texas, specifically Houston, TX as I've met a few people from there and they all seem to be very nice and easy going. Also, there are many companies based in Houston and their economy is doing a little better then the rest of the country so companies are hiring.

Just about all of my friends and family are still living around the D.C. area so if I do choose to relocate I will essentially be uprooting my entire life to go to a place where I do not know anyone. My group of friends is fairly small yet it's a great group of people I wouldn't want to trade. Also, I should mention that I'm not the most outgoing person so meeting new people may not be the easiest for me.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What did you do and are you happy with your decision or not? I am really looking for someone to settle down with I honestly don't thing she is where I live now but I have a great group of friends here.

I feel like this scenario is kind of similar to Ted in "How I Met Your Mother."
