I couldn't agree more with expanding the friendship base and having more women friends in life. Men are great, don't get me wrong, but having a circle of women to fall back on and lean on is a gem, no doubt in my mind. And it's true about accepting the limitations of certain friendships, but savoring the pieces of those.
It also helps in the sense that when the right man does come along, you will have a much stronger base of not relying or subconsciously expecting said man to be your everything and anything. Plus in its own way makes one more desirable just because it does add a dimension of mystery without being mysterious, per se.
Mend your heart and be gentle with yourself.
