Is it real? Or just some psychological need to be loved?

So on June 1st, my boyfriend of nearly two years left for more military training. It was something we both knew was happening and had been somewhat prepared for. Earlier in our relationship, we had come to the mutual decision that we would break up when this time came. We knew it was what was best for us because our lives and our plans were just too different, and it wouldn’t have worked in the long term. I also knew basically from the beginning that he wasn’t the one I was supposed to be with. The first week after the breakup was really hard, but after that I started feeling a lot better and it almost felt like I might be moving on. Of course I still missed him and cared deeply for him, but part of me feels like because I knew he was leaving and I knew we would be breaking up, I started moving on before we’d even broken up yet. Can that happen?

It’s been about a month and a half since we broke up, and we’re still friends and snapchat each other a couple times every day. We talked recently, and he said he still loves me but that he wished the best for me all that. And of course I still love him, but I don’t think I love him in that way anymore. And recently, I’ve been involved with one of my old friends. I didn’t and don’t want a relationship, and I’ve made that very clear to him and he understands and says he’s okay with it. But we just click. And I do genuinely have feelings for him, but it’s scaring me because I wasn’t expecting to have feelings this soon after this breakup. I didn’t even really want to have feelings for anyone. I feel guilty for having feelings because I feel like it’s somehow still a betrayal to my ex boyfriend, even though he’s my ex. And I feel like it’s too soon to be feeling anything But strangely, I feel very strongly for this guy in such a short amount of time. And I know he feels strongly towards me. I worry that my feelings somehow aren’t true, that maybe I have some underlying psychological need to be loved, or I’m addicted to love or something. But I know I care for him. And I’m incredibly attracted to him. But I’m just a little confused and wondering if it’s normal or even okay to have feelings again this soon? Or if for some reason they aren’t real?
