I assure you ONE quality connection with a great lady will warp speed your detachment. I'm not at all saying you need a relationship if you don't feel ready. Simply put once you fully realize there are other quality women out there who have interest in you, you'll have the whole epiphany of "why am I still wasting my time on WW?" THAT is when your detachment will take off. Grant yourself the grace to work through your feelings as they come up, keep putting yourself out there if for no other reason than to see that there is a TON of possible green grass on the other side of the fence and enjoy yourself. Create your own new control in your life that no one else can take from you!

I second this. I went on several coffee dates with women. I didnt even feel like being friends with any. Then I met a woman much younger that I had no intention of dating initially and we matched up very well. It sped my detachment up greatky because I absolutely found that there are women out there that are willing to treat you so much better than how your WW does. I literally said to myself "why in the world was I wasting time pining for a woman that treats me so badly and showed me how selfish she truly is?"
