Over 6 months- can't seem to move on

So, in February I broke up with my first love. I was in the middle of a depression cycle and couldn't seem to handle it, plus he had changed. Anyway- I've dated a few guys since, but nothing concrete. They always seemed to lose interest in me, and now I have this very charming, handsome, smart guy who seems to want to start something (though I can't seem to figure out what). We haven't exactly had a date, although we've had lunch together and talk all the time. He's extremely busy- and I can't seem to figure out my emotions. He makes me happy, but at the same time I'm going crazy. My nerves are on ends, and I'm anxious all the time. It feels like I might be falling into depression again- but there's nothing that should be causing it. I'm in a good place right now- there's no extra stress or problems happening. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with me.

Welcome to the board scribbles37,


Depending on how long the two of you were together, 6 months might not be long enough to 'get over it'.

I am going through a very similar situation.

Thanks so much- you're so sweet and thoughtful... The thing is is that I know i'm over my ex- i don't think about how wonderful he was or our times together, it's just that no matter what guy I've tried to start liking, I can never really get into it. I feel like there's something wrong with me because deep down i want a relationship, i just can't seem to really get into one.

I'm with you. I understand. My ex and I broke up in February as well and although I don't sit and cry like I used to I still miss him something fierce.
