A couple years ago I met someone online and we began talking every day. He lived across the ocean from me, so we couldn't meet in person. But strangely this didn't bother me. Even as we grew very close and became very significant people in each others' lives, and loved each other very much, the distance felt insignificant to me. I felt so impossibly close to this person. Every time he would send me a message on my phone, or every time we would Skype, I would feel happy beyond reason. It was indescribable. But, it ended. (He was too busy with school and just couldn't do it anymore.)
Now I'm in a relationship with another guy (not long-distance). He's wonderful. We get along perfectly. But for some reason, it all just feels empty. I keep telling myself I just need more time to grow close to him (we've only been dating for a month) and that it's way too early to give up. But I can't get over the feeling that this is empty and maybe even slightly boring.
I know I have the rest of my life to find the right person, so I'm not acting like this is the end of the world. I just want to know why I might be feeling this way right now.
I do not miss the long-distance guy (I did for a long time, but finally have gotten past him.) I just miss the feeling I got with him.
Why does my current relationship feel boring? What's missing?
