Did anyone else notice that love in the air lately? Lots of people seem to be falling for each other! Well, I think I know why: it's Spring! In three days, anyway
( Read more... )
I meant together as in...you know, dating, or that kind of thing.
Of course you can! But there are different kinds of love. There's the kind that makes you want to protect someone and be their friend, and then there's the kind that gives you butterflies in your stomach, and makes you feel...well, kind of...warm and happy and special whenever you look at them or think of them. A-and it makes you want to, um, hold them and kiss them and things like that. It's like...the difference between loving someone and being in love with them.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure your friend is in love with you, and maybe wants to be your girlfriend - or boyfriend? - and maybe they're sad because you don't want to, or they think you don't want to.
No, there are...subcategories, I guess? But when people talk about it, that's usually how they separate them. You can love as many people as you want! I love all my nakama, and there are an awful lost of them. You never run out of a love, I think; if you give it to someone, it multiplies! I think most people only romantically love one person at a time, though...or at least, they try to. It's hard to say if that's really how human nature works.
You don't? Hmm...maybe you should ask him. Why do you think he's sad, if he doesn't love you that way?
Yeah, I love all my nakama too! And it's different - I don't love Nami the same way I love Zoro, and I don't love either of them the same way I love Usopp. I don't think any of it is romantic or friendship or anything. It's just Nami-love and Zoro-love and Usopp-love. Nothing else makes sense.
He said he was sad because he loves someone else already. I don't know why that would make him sad though. If someone who loved you loved someone else too, would that make you sad?
Oh. I guess that's a good way of looking at it! I guess your friend might not understand that, though. Do you have a kind of love for him too?
Oh...i-it does make me kind of sad...he's probably sad because he feels like he's betraying the other person he loves by having feelings for you. A lot of people want to save that kind of love for just one person.
Of course I do! He's-- I love him! That's why I don't want him to be sad. :/
Really? But what's so special about that kind of love? Why is it different from all the other love? I think your life would be pretty lonely, if you had to save all your that-kind-of-love for one person.
I bet it'll work out better for you, since you know so much about it!
That's good. Maybe that will make him feel a little better?
Well...some people do love more than one person that way - actually, I think most people love more than one person that way in their lifetime; humans aren't monogamous - but I think most people only love one person that way at a time, or at least they try to because they don't want to hurt their partner's feelings. Because I think some people feel that if you love another person, it means that there's less for them, or that they aren't good enough...and it's kind of hard not to feel that way even if you know it's silly. I guess that if you're in a relationship and your partner is in love with another person, it feels like they're cheating on you.
Is that really what it feels like? I don't want the other guy he loves to feel sad either, we're all nakama. Will he really be sad, even if we explain?
Will you tell me how it turns out when it happens? :D

Oh yeah, is it true that you can only love one person at one time? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Anyway, I don't think he feels like either of those things. Hey, are you in love with anyone?

...I-I might be...a little.

He said he was sad because he loves someone else already. I don't know why that would make him sad though. If someone who loved you loved someone else too, would that make you sad?
Really? :D Did you tell them yet?

Do you think so? Thank you, Luffy-san.
