sanne Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 It's really strange, before every girl that used to give me the slightest bit of attention used to set of a stir of emotions inside me. But now, I find I'm just not emotionally interested in any women. I hooked up with an old H.S. friend over the weekend, and even though the sex was great, afterwards I just didn't have any feelings towards her whatsoever. Please tell me this is something that fades over time, i'm not used to being so emotionless.
opaleye Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Yup I think that's normal. It takes a while to allow yourself to feel stuff again because you don't want to let yourself get hurt or hurt others or be vulnerable. It goes away. I think you are perfectly normal and it will just take time.
pippen_2k Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 If you only hooked up on the weekend, I dont think you should feel anything regardless if you have just broken up or not... You shouldnt be fallin for people after a night of sex. Should take quite some time to let ur emotions get involved with another.
ReluctantRomeo Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 It's normal, it fades with time. How long has it been since you broke up?
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 It's normal.. What is important is that you are out trying to hook up and date..It helps the feelings return
Author sanne Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 well it's been a while since we officially "broke up", but we've still been seeing each other and being intimate since a few weeks ago. i guess i've just changed since the breakup.
reservoirdog1 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 It's totally normal. In hindsight, and with a bit of objectivity, my ex-wife was hardly the most beautiful woman out there -- but when we were together, I thought she was. It took awhile after we split for me to STOP comparing other women -- even more attractive women -- to her. I think it was really a case of wanting back what was so familiar to me -- that's what did it. And once I got over that, things were much easier.

Under these circumstances, I'd be surprised if you *had* moved on... Reservoir is right, btw. The tendency is to always be making very subjective comparisons with other women. This passes too.
