You're very welcome. I'm quite needy of assurance too, and have had to constantly remind myself to get over it, to know that just because someone isn't paying attention to me doesn't mean he doesn't care. It could be because he's busy, tired, distracted, or a myriad other reasons. We tend to read too much into silences sometimes.
Same for your life, striving4peace. We tend to see periods of singlehood as deserts, as lacking in some way, when sometimes these silences and absences are exactly what we need to grow. Many flowers bloom not when the plant is constantly watered, but when there's a dry spell. You never know, if you're going through a dry spell now, your life may be about to bloom sooner than you realise!
