I trust your gut on her "arbitrary" Feb date. But Feb is Feb, and May is May. Time will do what it does.
The renter will help so much with mental stress. Hopefully you enjoy the presence of another person around. My roomie helps a lot with that. Of course, she is also the perfect roomie, so not everyone will have that.
Most most excellent on the swing dancing. Totally great. Speaking as a middle-aged divorced woman (hey, is that me? why, shoot, I guess it is) I would be delighted to have such a man as you show up at class. A man who can handle emotions. Who can look at feelings, life, changes, love, and know what can be good, and how to handle the bad. Who is brave enough to swing dance!
