<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

So me and my friend are both rising HS juniors. We got out of a long (2 year) and serious (actual mature/supportive relationship, not just "making out") recently and are not very close friends. How close? Well, we're each other's best friends by far and we're very close. We tell each other pretty much everything, and are very supportive of each other, in addition to me being very protective of her. We're not romantically involved anymore, but she helped me immensely with depression/anxiety and related issues, and as such I always have a little "Z" (her first initial) written on my wrist, and I plan on getting it out into tattoo form once I turn 18.

I explain that because I plan on trying to get back into the dating game (I'm a surprisingly serious dater for a high schooler; if I don't feel like a relationship has a chance of being permanent I'm not into it), and I was wondering how any ladies that read this would feel about this situation, or how they'd want it to be handled/explained. Any input is welcome, thanks!
<bot>: Best friend and former girlfriend is very important and close to me to the point of getting her first initial tattooed on my wrist, any input on dealing with this in future relationships?
