First of all I just want to say that I'm pretty much a lone wolf, I hardly have close friends, I only really have associates as in people I talk to but nobody close. So I guess a subconscious part of me craves a more meaningful connection with others. As sn introvert I find it diff to find people who are into the same stuff as me. I say that to make you guys understand why I can't just go and make friends in order to avoid what I'm about to talk about.

So I started talking to this new guy on Monday, we've never met and aren't even in the same country. We didn't even meet with the pretext of dating, we actually met on a penpal website, so dating should not even be in the question.

But like... I find myself thinking about him in a romantic way, and I can't seem to stop. I think a few factors are that I might be close to ovulation, so I feel really horny and kinda crave male attention at this point. I haven't been sexually active since February, and haven't even dated or spoke to any guys in a dating or otherwise context since then. But it's like right now under these circumstances, every guy I meet or talk to becomes like a potential lifelong partner or something.

Can someone please bring me back down to reality? Does anyone have experience with this and if do how do you snap out of it? I just want to talk to this guy as a friend, to see if there is even potential for anything romantic, but I know I can't in this state of mind.
