I think it's also harder to be single when you've had a long term relationship. If Sam and I were suddenly not together, I would find it incredibly intimidating getting "back into the game". Yikes. Don't worry, girl. Give yourself time to be on your own, build up your confidence and reassurance that you CAN do it, but would rather just have a partner in life. Just make sure that you don't turn down someone with really good potential just because you're still wounded. Nice guys are out there! I know, I'm married to one and am a sister to three and daughter to one. They exist, I swear!
