[Reposting since my other account seems shadowbanned(?). I’m sorry if you are seeing this again]

I am one of those who are in their twenties and never had a partner (unless you count that one odd semi edating stuff I got going at one time). And thus never felt touch of a partner or their love lol.

Well in my teens, I never had these feelings this high and I always felt focusing on my studies was the best so I had myself distracted all the time. Love was a foreign concept.

Even now it does feel like one, but after a long online situationship( ? idk what you call it) I feel it unlocked something in me. I have been feeling stuff I haven’t felt before and this had me trying to watch some romcoms which I never did in my teenage. But these don’t really sit with me and idk how to deal with the random waves of endearing for a loving partner (my teenage self of me is still cringing at this while I type >W<) .

So what are some ways to quench off this particular thrist (without, obviously, getting a gf)?

Note: I will look for a gf in the long run for sure, I’m only looking at alternative ways of dealing with these feelings.
