--- Quote from: Barmymoo on 08 Jul 2014, 03:26 ---On the one hand I agree that it's good that Sven is expressing emotions and genuinely feeling something other than lust. However, I also think it's unfair of him to place that on Faye. What is he hoping to achieve? He knows that Faye is with Angus. Will telling her how he feels actually help him? I feel like the only reason you'd share that with someone is in the hope that they will feel the same and start a relationship with you.

Sven has always got what he wanted. The Faye situation is new to him, and he has problems adapting. Moreover, Faye is the first girl he has ever fallen in love with. All the others were just casual flings. He is the classic man-whore, who now wants to change his ways.
He does know Faye is in a relationship, but is probably ignorant to the conflicts this could cause. He just wants Faye back. Maybe he is insensitive or egoistical, but not inherently evil.
Loki:
Sven reminds me of myself in a similar but distinct situation with the relevant advice that was given to me then.

Am I the only one who thinks he might be trying to start the conversation off by saying that just to get a reaction out of her before bringing the ACTUAL issue up?

Nope. It's plausible. Not all that likely, but plausible.

I don't think these situations are comparable. Sven's feelings are current. Saying it out loud, getting rejected, and then taking some time to heal might be the better choice with this. Otherwise one might harbour these feelings for far too long without achieving anything, with the inevitable rejection coming later anyways. Sometimes one just needs to hear the other person speak the words, because the subconsciousness won't accept it otherwise.
Akima:
Wow! This bombshell came right out of left field. I had forgotten Sven.
