Is it normal that i feel like i can't ever love again?

I'm a girl, I'm 18.

Just over 2 years ago, I was completely in love with this guy I was in a relationship with, and we were together for about a year and a bit. He wasn't my first proper boyfriend, but I haven't ever been as in love with anyone, as I felt with him. The relationship soon turned quite painful though, for reasons I don't want to say here, but they did, and in the last few months of the relationship, we just broke up and drifted apart.

After I got over him and forgotten about him, like I said, it's been 2 years since we 'broke up', I haven't ever had feelings about anyone else since him. I have had a relationship since, however I was only short, and lasted about a month, and I didn't really feel anything at all. Not even a little crush or anything. This guy I was with before, he is not at all a part of my life anymore, Iv'e completely moved on, and I don't even think about him at all, but I'm starting to wander - will I ever learn to love anyone again? Will I ever feel again? Is it possible to truly love only one person?

Any kind of feedback would be great, thanks

    Just give yourself some time. You're only feeling this way because you're not ready to move on yet. Your heart hasn't fully healed from it. Possibly because there wasn't enough closure.

    You will feel it again, when you're ready. Just don't rush it. That is all.

    You're all of 18 years old. Take it from someone with a bit more experience: All the hurt and pain of failed relationships and everything else goes away in time, and I'm fairly certain that that's what is holding you back. Either that, or you just haven't encountered enough different people to spark your interest again.

    Here's a funny thing that you're not going to believe until you figure it out for yourself, though: You will feel the way you think you feel until you forget to feel that way anymore.

    Just bear one thing in mind: Nobody is perfect. For good or for ill, there are no gods among humans, so nobody is worth idolizing as such. But that also means that there's no one perfect person that you need to search for. Just keep your eyes open for a person that you can like, and make things happen.

    Love is a grand experiment, and unfortunately, science is a thousand failures before one success, but as long as you learn each time, you're still making progress. Don't listen to the heartbroken saps that are stuck in doubt themselves; one day they'll look back too and wonder why they let themselves get stuck.

    Don't know, all women i know so far loved a different guy every year. All guys i know loved a girl tops two girls in their lifespan.

    No you won't. Everyone has one true love. You will like people and make it work and love, but not love love the same way.
