Hey PS - I just read your post about the cruise. I can definitely relate to how you are feeling after being rejected and then finding someone attractive who expresses interest and WHAMO you're in love! I get it.
But rather than beating yourself up over the lost love, might you also consider that perhaps you've had a glimpse of life with someone else. That you are viewed as attractive by another person and that you will get through this. And if there is one person who finds you attractive and interesting, then there will be another, and another and then one day, love will find you again.
