I wouldn't even think about staying single right now. You aren't long out of a relationship and you have your beautiful DD who is consuming all of your thoughts atm .

I'm sure you will one day find the man who will help you realise that they're not all bad .

As for your DD being clingy - it makes no difference if you're single or not! Both my boys have been clingy, DS2 was a shocker! We called him velcro baby and he never wanted to be out of my sight. You'd never know it know that he's 2, he's very independant! It's a developmental thing that most babies go through, good 'ol separation anxiety that only mum can fix

More hugs .
