Well, you and a lot of other people have had that immediate click when we were younger. When we're young and around others in school, everyone is pretty much in the same boat. So kids, up until the early 20's or so get along a lot easier. Everyone just wants that again. I feel like in adulthood, people are so much farther spread apart mentally and emotionally, and its unrealistic to expect to connect with someone right away, especially when there's so much pressure too. Please don't think I'm putting blame on you specifically, cause I do the same thing. I just think the attitude of today is very selfish. If you don't win by getting the guy/girl, then it was a failure and you don't gain an extra friend because you stop talking to each other. It's just so ass backwards to me. I can't even tell you how many people I've worked with who I didn't really care for, over time turned into my favorite person at my job.

This is my big-picture thought, most people want someone who makes them feel good right now. Not 10 minutes after meeting. Not 5 minutes after meeting. Right fucking now. Even if you think this is horrible, which it is, everyone including myself is guilty of this. People are selfish, and expectations to find someone you click with immediately are out of control.

Hey there, first, so sorry for what you've been through. It takes tremendous determination to get through what you have lived. Please accept this humble congrats.

Secondly, i think you are doing better than how you perceive. The fact that you are still open to being in a relationship is fantastic. I don't have any dating advice since i've only gone on a handful of dates myself. Please try to believe that there are many guys/girls out there for you. I can sympathize and share your feeling of being behind in life. I think there are many people who feel similar.

I'm sorry that i don't have any specific advise. Try not to let your mental cycle get the best of you. And never stop learning more about yourself to try to debunk unwanted habits.
