Hey guys. Is it normal to form an unusually strong attachment to someone you developed a romantic interest in while going through a time of fear and depression? I met a girl the other night and I was feeling like total shit, but I took care of her for a night, we talked a lot and eventually had sex. She left today and I feel abnormally sad. Miss her more than I feel I should. What's going on?

It sounds like you weren't in your right state of mind, she was there and you fucked her. Nothing else really, you should see how you feel when your not fearing or depressed.
I'm not sure if it is normal or not, but it happens. In weird situations, too.
about 10 years ago, ended up in a psych ward after indulging in too much alcohol and doing some stupid stuff and just basically being in a bad state of mind after nephew was killed in Iraq.
there for 3 weeks and developed a bond with one of the overnight nurses. shared stories and talked about stuff all night when she worked. figured out we had some stuff in common and exchanged numbers on the down low.
One night, we were a team together for monopoly against some older fellows. The old black guy starts asking us if we liked each other because we kept giving each other looks and stuff. He tells us "I know that you two are soulmates by the way you look at each other."
We were like "haha..yeah, whatever".
We keep talking at night, and I eventually get signed out. We text each other and stay in touch. Meet up a few weeks later after, instant attraction on the outside. I live in a town up the road like 100 miles away and we always meet halfway and go do outdoor stuff. Feels like we've always been together. She totally gets me out of my rut after nephew died. When we were together, it was amazing. Good conversation, really connected on all levels including sex.
She got an opportunity to move across country and took it. haven't talked for a long time, but wow, what a great thing to come out of such a messed up situation.
It sucks man, because I'm pretty sure she doesn't feel the same. I don't know if it's better to keep hooking up with her and trying or to just let go

damn man, it was a hook up and you don't expect a hook up to be anything more than fucking. why is it that when men fuck a woman they become emotionally attached?

Eh, it was and wasn't. She'd been in a fight with her friend and got kicked out. She didn't know anyone in the area so she called me. We stayed up talking for hours and I felt like we really clicked. We had sex then slept together. I dropped her back off with her friend later and it's been killing me since. I don't normally get so damn attached.
