Is it normal to want someone new after a breakup?

Author

it's been nine months since I've broken up with my girlfriend and honestly it's been a weird feeling still but somehow l started crushing one two different people one who l work with only on one day (older guy but not much older than me) and the other is a friend from a friend and this person is younger than me but that much younger but l don't know what to do because l don't know if it's my brain just wanting to be in a relationship or just wanting someone to be in my life again after 9 months or just a few months since l broken up with my one relationship lasted for a month

i started crushing on two people after my breakup, i forced myself to slow it down. i didn’t jump into anything, i just watched how i felt on days they weren’t around. if the feeling only showed up when i was lonely, that told me a lot.

nine months out and i still felt that weird pull toward anyone who gave me a spark. i had a crush on a coworker and some random friend of a friend at the same time, it wasn’t even about them if i’m honest, i just missed having someone there. that in-between phase is so confusing.
