I'm currently a 16 year old boy about to go into my junior year of highschool. Life has been going pretty smooth right up until sophomore year. Freshman year I had a girlfriend (I sort of ignored her but the thought of just having a girlfriend made me happy I believe) and I was able to do the things that made me happy like hangout with my friends and play wiffleball and hockey and all that stuff. I broke up with my girlfriend the summer going into sophomore year and that's when things changed. In the middle of sophomore year I realized that I really regretted ignoring and breaking up with my previous girlfriend but by that time when I tried to make things better it was too late... She really wanted nothing to do with me. After trying to patch things up with her until about the end of the school year I decided I needed to move on. But now it's like all that I can think about is finding a girlfriend it is really getting in the way with things in my life because I can't even enjoy the things in life that I love anymore because I am constantly thinking about not having a girlfriend, and getting a girlfriend. I know that you can't rush things and all that stuff but I can't help it, even though I'm smart enough to know that I shouldn't be worrying about this stuff and that I'm only rushing things because I guess I miss the idea of having a girlfriend, I'm still unable to get this nagging thought out of my head. It actually keeps me up at night thinking about not being able to have someone special that I could be close with. I've been texting a girl and some nights I actually feel happy because it ends on a good note like her saying she'll call me the next day but other times where maybe she never responds I just end up like devastated and it just bothers me making it difficult to sleep. I just need help with this, maybe someone has advice or something
