Well, i look pretty bad myself these days but I think my friend still loves me. Is it possible that they're just falling in lust? You aren't missing much, so far, ennui. I know you are eager for those experiences but you really have to give yourself a chance. Sometimes (most of the time!), It takes years of being young and not as young to find someone to love.

Go see "The Lobster". You may come away with a brand new perspective on love.
