I miss being in love

Title says it all. Not looking for sympathy or anything. Just miss it. Was only in love once. Dated a girl in college for 3 years. Lived with her and told her I would propose to her at graduation. We ended bad. Both of our faults. I've moved on. I go on dates but never feel that connection. Idk if maybe I am still fucked up about it even though it was years ago. I just miss it. I want to be in love and have inside jokes and do stupid couple shit. Now I just work, occassionally get dinner or drinks with a girl. Have not felt a connection with anyone since the ex. Maybe I am too picky. Just a rant. I am not sad by any means. Just feels like that is the one thing I am missing. I am 22 now. I have been to 3 weddings. My good friend also 22 just got engaged. I know that is young. IDK. Wifey WYA haha

OP here. I did not MS you either. Over what? That whole ramble was just saying I want to find connection again lol. Doesn't everyone who isn't in a LTR desire that to some degree? 

 

From your comment it seems that you are not missing a simple connection or sex. You're missing your ex and the moments you spent with her. Right now I personally believe that you are too young to be worried about a LTR, dont worry there's plenty of fish in the sea. The most prominent reason for my conclusion is that you ended things in a possibly wrong way, which by itself adds to the trauma. You will get over it, time heals everything.
