There's a big difference in perception between the two words.

Absolutely. And it's why I use the word ALONE very intentionally. I do believe there is a period of time where we need to be romantically emotionally alone. Yes we have family and friends and our support groups and systems in place. But this is a time where we are not connected to a partner (or potential partner) ... this is the time where we get to know who we are. The definintion of single doesn't necessarily encompass this in my mind, it can include dating or even our emotional attachement to our exS.

TAMF,

Your friend is very wise. I'd print her email and keep it under your pillow too smile
