I just broke up with my girlfriend that I’ve had for a year. I’ve was madly in love with her, and did the best I could, but it ended the same way it has with every girl that I’ve ever liked or had an interesting in. “You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met and I don’t know what I would do without you in my life, but I just don’t feel for you that way”. My ex said she has been convincing herself that she has loved me for months, but she just wants me as a friend. My entire life I have had no romantic, flirtatious, or sexual instinct at all. Whenever I have tried acting like I did, I just hated it and it didn’t feel right, and it comes off so obviously fake. I watch so many videos and read so many books about how to flirt, but I hate how fake it feels and its so mentally exhausting, I just don’t have that instinct. Is there a reason or explanation for this? What would you do if you were me?
