Am I just living in a dream world?
Am I just living in a dream world?
I have only dated a few guys since Narc left me last June. All the guys that I've seen have been really nice and seemingly good guys. All have shown a genuine interest in me, are kind, respectful, etc. There's no real reason why I shouldn't want to be involved with any of them. But as hard as I try not to, I find myself comparing them to the Narc. I know the Narc is fake, always was and always will be, but I still remember that feeling of being with someone that seemed like a perfect compliment to me. Someone that I had soooo much in common with. EVERYTHING in common, really. I now realize that many of the things I thought we had in common, we probably didn't at all. It was most likely was all part of his "act." The thing I can't shake though, is how great it felt when I THOUGHT I had found this person that seemed to just "click" so perfectly with me in so many ways. All the guys I've met so far might share just a couple of interests with me, but beyond that we are different in many ways. I just don't feel that same connection with them as I did with the Narc, that felt soooo right. Is it unrealistic to expect to find someone again (and obviously NOT a Narc), that I share that kind of chemistry with? I feel bad about letting down these guys, because there is abosulutely nothing wrong with any of them. I'm beginning to realize that it's so much simpler to just forget trying to meet a guy at all. I don't want to hurt anyone unnecessarily and actually would rather just stay home and keep to myself, rather that deal with all of this. Are my expectations too high? Am I living in a dream world thinking I will find someone again that was so perfect for me, or am I not giving these guys enough of a chance? Sheesh. I'm thinking of just becoming a nun.
