Isn't it harder to fall in love with someone as you grow older?

38 yo male here.

In my teens and twenties, I fell in love several times. Sometimes I had a crush on a girl because of her looks, sometimes because of her personality, and sometimes for reasons I couldn't even explain. The last time I had a genuine crush on someone was when I was 28. Since then, I haven’t felt a strong romantic attraction toward anyone. Sure, I’ve seen women I found cute or attractive, but it was purely physical—I didn’t feel any emotional pull beyond that.

I miss the feeling of being head over heels for someone. Am I the only one who feels kind of jaded with age, unable to fall in love as easily? If you're like me, don’t you miss that feeling too, and how do you deal with it?

PS: For context, I did date a bit in my 30s, but it was mostly casual—I didn’t really fall for anyone
