Is it love or is it gas?

I had doubts at first because I was letting go of feelings for another woman. However, that woman was a bad match. She was always physically touching me, but never really engaged in conversation. I had respect for her as we worked together, but I later found out we did not share beliefs. The woman I'm getting to know now hasn't been physical, but much more engaging mentally and shares beliefs. I think she is pretty, but feel more attracted to her mind. I enjoy our conversations and joyfully await her messages. The only thing is I feel less physically intense towards her, but the previous woman likely messed with my head. I genuinely enjoy conversing with her, but am unsure if my feelings are idealistic.

That seems to be how it goes, doesn't it?
Being physically attracted to the wrong people and not to the right ones.
Personally, I find that the physical attraction can come later after you start to fall for the person. You start to take more notice of all of their good qualities because you want to. And don't underestimate the power of intimacy. Physical attraction and intimacy are not one and the same. Intimacy can only be achieved when there is a connection and you want to be as close as possible with that person.
As to whether it is real or not. Only time can tell.
But don't be afraid to let things grow between you naturally. Sometimes the best way to get over the bitter taste of an ex is to let sweet romance wash it away.

The first woman was your ideal match. Dump this girl and run back to her

This is a though situation, I can sort of understand what you went through since I too found myself in such a situation.
I do think that like all loves, you are sort of idealizing the second woman and/or your feelings for her, but from what you have shared she seems to be the best match for you.
Remember that physical attraction and looks fade; while feelings and genuine chemistry don't.

Probably just gas. Gas is more fun ! You can light it up with a match. You can stink others out! , even blame it on someone else. Gas is better than any chick !

Lust will make you crazy 😜
