Is there some sort of formula for determining how long it's

>It's only been a month ago

You're fine, it was recent enough to be understandable.

When will the desire to keep texting him fade? :(

It depends on how frequent/infrequent your attachments are

I dated a girl for a month and a bit and I was hung up over her dumping me for a lot longer because it's rare for me to find someone I can connect with

What I'm getting at is that there is no normal
So long as you grow and learn, you're ok

Cool, thanks. This guy was really the first I ever developed feelings for, and he gave me every indication he reciprocated them right up until he ghosted.

It's just that I went to such a dark place in the wake of it and that darkness has barely let up between then and now that it's frightened me a bit that I'll never really be cut out for a real relationship. I mean, if a guy could do that to me after only having dated for a month and some change, who knows what I'll do if the next guy hurts me after six? Or after a few years?

I think I'm a bit older than you.

The thing I've learned is that it's always worth the risk.
It hasn't ever really succeeded for me but I keep trying
Because when it works. When you really have that connection. It makes it all worth while.

I'm at about 2.5 years for someone I never really dated but was in love with for a long time.
