As someone who has been hyper independent, I understand where you come from even though all the romantic gestures even the little/bare minimum is something I have read or seen on Tv and never experienced it. So I just always did it for me. Even in my past relationships (ages ago), my emotional burden had most of the time been mine. Hence, now I am vary of men who "like my independence and strength" and I rather be with a man who sees that it has been tough and give emotional support than one who gives me pat on back for being hyper independent. I think, it is okay to desire human connection in form of romance but at the same time it is important to remember that it is better to be single and find love in yourself than be in place where you are made to feel the most unloved person. I do think it is important to cry though.
I feel you. There are so many layers to being single, and there's no rule that says you can't experience conflicting feelings. I do miss those moments of intimacy but as time goes by I've also learned to enjoy my peace.
