Dear Andy;

She is “taken”- I prefer to put it differently: she is otherwise engaged.

I hope you don’t end up “taken” by a woman… and maybe this is something significant to learn. Maybe.

Since you think it is better for you to be single, then be single.

My thoughts: There is no such thing as post-relationship loyalty, you know. She being … otherwise engaged with another man is not a betrayal of you once it happened after the ending of your relationship. And you remaining single, does not make you a better person, a more of a loyal person since there is… no such thing as post-relationship loyalty.
