MrFriendly's previous post offers some good advice. Get some exercise and get some sun.

He's also right that a temporary lack of libido is normal. But it sounds to me like you are suffering from depression. Don't share here if you don't want to, but what was the cause of the severe stress you mentioned? Whatever it was, you are not over it. That's actually good news because it means your mojo will return.

Exercise and sun are very good for overcoming depression. Both are especially important with Daylight Savings Time about to end and winter coming on. I would also talk to your doctor if you have one. Depression is a medical condition and its symptoms are not necessarily related to anything going on externally in your life right now. I would also recommend reading a book called The Noonday Demon by Andrew Solomon.

As for the girl who is interested in you, take this opportunity to get to know her. Don't feel any pressure to make any sexual moves. She will probably be thrilled to spend time with a straight guy who isn't trying to get in her pants.

...and don't worry. She will know you are straight. Women have an evolutionary talent for knowing who is gay or not.

dalnet22, believe me, I've been there. Things will get better. Keep your chin up... and get exercise and sun.
