I've been single for about a year and half now and in that time I've talked to a few girls and when that stopped I didn't really care at all and it didn't make me feel any more lonely or depressed but the few times I've hooked up with someone I just feel lonely and completely depressed after. I just met up with a girl and almost immediately I realized I was barely enjoying myself. I feel like I would've been better off just going to sleep. I'm always craving affection or to just to have someone to hold for a while but everytime I get it I just feel worse than before. This makes me want to just give up looking for someone all together. I'm 24 and I know I'm young but after my divorce I haven't actually been able to be happy with anyone. The one girl I actually dated after my divorce was pretty much just a distraction from my depression but it didn't even bother me when we broke up. I feel like I got a divorce I just lost my ability to connect with anyone. I always feel alone now and like I said everytime I hookup with someone it just makes it worse.
