I got really lucky with match.com. Sometimes math and programming can be a bit harsh too. I really feel like reading anything - People magazine, novels, poetry - whatever vaguely might interest you a bit, can be fun. Let yourself indulge without judgement. Erikson talks about your age involving 'intimacy v. isolation' - and you're just at the start of this stage. It gets better, and easier, more so when coming out of deep valleys. I've had people in my life very prone to depression, and a lot of it has to do with being really smart and feeling things keenly. It's attached to your super powers, but it's so important to figure out ways to balance things out (more breadth-first search, less depth-first search, wherever possible). Take care, man. It was an unusual past year. With unusual fallouts. I hope you take it easy on yourself, and try out fun little things that grow.
