I've been dating this girl for almost a couple of months now. I like her a lot and we have a ton of things in common. Spending time with her is good. The strange thing is that when I'm not with her, I can barely picture her, and the fact that I'm dating her doesn't seem real.
I've never experienced that before. I've always been completely present.
The last relationship I was in was incredibly emotional and intense and fucked me up pretty well. It's been a year. Maybe I haven't completely recovered? Maybe my depression turned into derealization? Or maybe I'm overanalyzing things and I'm just in a more selfish place right now, but the more time I spend with her, the more real the relationship will feel?
Picture unrelated.
Was your last relationship a long term one? You're moving from a long term relationship to a new one, so you're probably subconsciously comparing the two. Naturally you don't have the intimacy of your last relationship in this new one yet. Give it time, I think these issues will work themselves out.

Yeah, it was a very long-term one. And I think you might be right.
