"Sophia Bush has insisted that she enjoys being single.  The Partners actress, who split from former One Tree Hill co-star and longtime boyfriend Austin Nichols earlier this year, said that she has discovered a lot about herself while not in a relationship.    &amp;quot;Being on my own has been amazing. I don&amp;#039;t know if it&amp;#039;s coming into my thirties or what it is, but I&amp;#039;m such a sucker for love and I believe in it and I always want it to win,&amp;quot; Bush explained to US Weekly. &amp;quot;By nature, I think as women we are nurturers, we&amp;#039;re caretakers, and me in particular... I want to take care of everybody else. And to have spent so long now just taking care of myself and my girlfriends and enjoying that, it&amp;#039;s so good. I think it&amp;#039;s so important.&amp;quot; Bush went on to say that concentrating on herself has taught her what she values most in her romantic partners. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own. I think that&amp;#039;s something all women deserve to know,&amp;quot; the 30-year-old said. &amp;quot;So many fairytales we read as children - and the love stories we watch on TV when we&amp;#039;re older - tell us that we&amp;#039;re not enough unless we have man. And it&amp;#039;s like, &amp;#039;No, homie! You can be a bonus when I have time for you in my life&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Bush recently dismissed suggestions of a romance with former That &amp;#039;70s Show star Topher Grace, claiming that the pair are just friends.
