Trav, the only thing I can comment on, concerning recently single and not knowing what direction to go in, is that you need to do you (no homo).
One of the only things I learned in HS was from my friggin english teacher, on the last day of school, he gave us this parting wisdom. A relationship is not 50/50. The relationship will never work that way. It’s 100/100. Meaning you have to be able to give 100% and so does the other person.
