the quick and dirty on love

A person can possess any of 3 basic attitudes towards that possibility of love with another person. Person A feels no love, or thinks that developing such love would be impossible. Person B has a strong desire to proliferate love, but doesn’t believe it’s already achieved. And Person C feels that their love is inborn or otherwise already exists.


Of course, these 3 attitudes may be paired up with the same, or either of the other attitudes, creating 6 unique relationship types:


Person A & Person A: “accidental”

No love is deemed possible, and no frustration occurs.


Person A & Person B: “the impossible battle”

Person B is constantly trying to convince person A of growing love. Person B is perpetually frustrated, and person A is initially amused, but then baffled.


Person A & Person C: “unrequited”

Person C in constant pain knowing that person A doesn’t love them.


Person B & Person B: “unstable”

Both partners constantly wax and wane between feeling in love, independently of one another, effectively being any of the 6 relationship types at any given time.


Person B & Person C: “see-saw”

Person C is frustrated, but optimistic. Person B sways between feeling love and not feeling love. Finality occurs when Person B turns into either person C or A.


Person C & Person C: “stable”

Both persons are satisfied, unless outside influences, or a change of heart, put their love in doubt.
