I'm doing quite well. About a month ago I broke up with my ex, but since then I've done the following:

Signed up for a performance dance class (I was already dancing, mostly to get more social)
Made a connection there, so now the son of a woman I dance with is helping me fix bikes to give away
Hosted two groups of guests riding their bicycles past my home (strangers, who I've enjoyed talking with)
Put in more hours with the bike rescue, building some stronger bonds with people there
Found out that one newish friend is planning on moving away. Boo hoo
Completed a lot of DIY work for a kitchen remodel

So I am single, and likely to remain that way for a while. But I feel quite fulfilled, and I feel like I'm in a position to develop more, stronger friendships, platonic or otherwise. It has been an effort to get to this point, and the journey is far from over, but I'm happy to see progress.
