I can't fall in love?

[LaureenVO]

In my entire life I only have ever had a crush on 2 different guys. And I honestly am not even sure if I actually had a real romantic crush on them. With the first guy I did have romantic feelings in the beginning, but after a while off I stopped liking him. The second guy was not even a real crush. I just can't catch feelings it feels like. I need to get to know someone really well before I even consider feelings. At times I do talk to guys where I'm like "omg i like them a lot!" But then after 2 days/weeks it's just gone and I realize that it was just a short obsession. That's the reason that right now, I first wait a few weeks before flirting too much, so I can get my feelings straight. I always have to figure out if it's just a small and short obsession or if I actually like the person, help?

Hi guys! I have an update. I currently have a boyfriend and we've been going strong for 1,5 years already! So I can indeed fall in love :)

Help with what?
You seem pretty introspective, what else is there to say?

You're 17. I suppose kids can fall in love but not when they're all wrapped in themselves like kids are. At this point in your life it's all about you. And there's nothing wrong with that, it's just part of growing up. Figuring out who you are and where you fit into the world, you don't have the mental or emotional space to fit someone else in. It's really hard to give yourself up to someone else when that's going on, if not impossible

If you're not really 17, then I don't know. Maybe you're a psychopath
