Hello I am a 22 year old aspie female and new to the forums and i have an issue. In 2009, I fell in love for the first time. I had this heavy feeling in my eyes and felt butterflies whenever i was with him. Sadly in 2010,I lost him to the big house which shattered my heart into a million tiny pieces. Between Early 2011-late 2014, I frequented a dating site called meet me. I noticed a cycle I was stuck in that basically would go like this, Id meet a guy and send hi a message. we'd chat online for awhile and id catch mild feelings however in the midist a better guy would come along and id drop the original guy and move to the next. More than once my parents caught me on the sites and pulled a pedo card on some of the guys i talked too even though they seemed genuine and most of the time id have feelings for one of them that would have to quickly fade. in early 2014, I had a secret relationship with a man who was going through a divorce. Again, my mom found out and put a stop to it and i had super strong feelings for him. I,m now almost 22 years old and in a relationship with an amazing guy. What worries me is my feelings dont feel like the same feelings i had for my secret relationship,first love,and online flings. I,m scared that my emotions could be overly damaged. Im also afraid of losing my boyfriend due to my emotions incapibility to catch up. Are my emotions too damaged or could it be something in the subconsious to blame. :? :? :? :( :(

Sounds like youve been scrambling to fill the void left by your first love... i get the impression you never gave yourself time to recover... im going through a very similar phase...

Your heart probably is still damaged... if u never let it heal it probably always will be... at least i think... easier said than done i know... its hard when you lose someone you love that much to not wanna run out and try to 'replace' them... thing is you never can... until you can accept the idea of falling in love with a totally different person, youll probably always feel that dull vague feeling where love used to be...

I dont know you any more than what you wrote, but be patient with yourself... you need to sort your head and heart out... being heartbroken in such a devastating way is earth shattering and takes time to recover from.
