I have definitley been through this! This sort of feeling usually happens to me after a depressing time when the opposite sex have either taken advantage of me or just pretend I don't exist. And still the feelings of lonliness are there...its a difficult and confusing time. Just know that it will pass and when the right guy comes he will break down those barriers you may have up, and you will be able to "feel" again. It just is a phase I think many people go through.

I am there right now. I lost the only woman I ever truly loved and cared for and who ever loved me back unconditionally almost 3 years ago. I have tried a few times over the last almost 2 years to go out with people well meaning friends tried to fix me up with but I just couldn't feel anything for them. There was nothing wrong with any of them I just was not ready to move on with my life. Recently I have started to pack away alot of the memories of her and have come to the conclusion that she will always be in my heart no matter what and adeep inside I know she is probably moping around up there sad knowing that I am down here putting my life on hold because I miss her so damned much. She was my one true love and I doubt I will ever feel anywhere near what I felt for her for someone else but I know now that it doesn't mean that I just throw in the towel and give up. She would not want that and I know if I was the one who passed away I would not want her wasting her life mourning for me. At this point I am not looking for another relationship but I know that one day soon I will be ready for that. It is what she would want for me.

Yes. That is exactly how I feel! It's been this way for over two years and I feel like I'm dying inside.

Not really. There has always been people I've been attracted to.
