[quote=Anonymous]You can do this, OP.  Some of the other PP's have some good advice.  Do you have any friends who are very independent and could hold your hand through some of this stuff, like budgeting?  I've helped friends with stuff over the years.  I've been on my own since 18 (though I do have a great family 1,000 miles away.)

Beyond that, I'd give you three pieces of advice, as a never-married 40 y-o with a daughter and a good life.  (1) put some energy into making/spending time with friends.  it's so important to have people who like you in your life, especially when you're single.  (2) find some things you like to do (or re-find them) and carve out a little time to do them.  I like to run and do yoga, among other things.  A lot of women put their energy into their relationships and forget to do things just for them.  (3) try not to stress out about dating.  Dating can be hard, so don't feel like you need to make it a huge focus for awhile, because it will only stress you out and that can scare the good guys away.  Do it when you're ready, but try to remember that single is not so bad either.

good luck![/quote]
