This is, I hope you realise, a little bit more difficult than that. :mrgreen:

--- Quote from: Shjade on 09 Jul 2014, 01:13 ---You can't be "in love with" Taylor Swift if you don't know her. You can love her, maybe - or at least you might love the idea of her, the concept you've created as representation of who you believe her to be in your head, but there's no relationship between the two of you on which you can base some claim of love; there is nothing there with which you can be "in love." You can only direct love at the idea, if indeed that is what you are feeling.

You could, however, be in love with Taylor Swift's music. That's a tangible, concrete thing with which you can interact, even if it isn't a sentient entity that has the capacity to love you back.

*shrug* Like I said, nothing resembling official definitions there, just how the two phrases work in my head.

That is the exact opposite of how those two phrases work in mine.

Coffee_Kaioken:
.... so that shoots my theory out the window.

Sven, what the hell.

Jazzmaster:
"But then I realized, shit, I might be in love with Faye!"

I'm not the type to tell people that they "don't know what real love is" and preach about the concept and theory of it and why they're stupid for thinking they're in love.  However, based on that line alone, Sven sounds like he hasn't really contemplated what love is to him.  He's convinced that having somebody on your mind endlessly means you're in love with them, or so he says.  But what if he's just infatuated?  What if he's guilty of over-idealizing her simply because she seems to be the first woman who has ever seriously "rejected" him?  Many guys have the problem of taking rejection personally (I'm no exemption to that).

Of course it's also possible he's really fucking bad at articulating what he means to say.  So far that seems the most possible thing, but who knows.

On another note, and I'm not sure if Jeph intended this or not but there seems to have been a brief trade of lives between Marten and Sven.  We still don't know the details of Marten's last interaction with Emily, but for now it seems that Marten is getting lady kisses for his displays of manhood, and Sven is being the "awkward" one.

Method of Madness:
I don't think what Faye said even occurred to Sven as a potential outcome until Faye said it, even if it was dripping with sarcasm that he missed/chose to ignore.
