I've never been simped on that hard, which is a good thing.

That's fine with me.

But in a long-term relationship, in love...

If you will, I don't love the idea of being objective or aloof.

Like the whole point is that you're really stoked on someone and you might potentially want to build a life together.

That's pretty serious in every capacity.

So it seems to me kind of counterintuitive or it seemed to me kind of counterintuitive.

based on the definition of detachment as its own sort of thing.

It sounded to me like not caring, being stoic.

Being stoic means to endure pain or hardship without complaining, showing emotion, or displaying weakness.

Like, again, all of this to me feels completely counterintuitive in love.

Love should be, in my opinion, in my experience, what I crave in it is... Or not even love.

I need to be careful with the word love because...

Like I should stick to the words romance and dating, but I'm throwing love in there because it just kind of comes out.

But love is tricky because like loving somebody means to care about their well-being and their happiness more.

in a very particular way.

I don't know, like love is kind of complicated.

And I think a lot of times we date people and we think that we love them, but we actually don't.

So it's a very tricky thing.

Like you can be dating somebody and not love them, and yet you're still dating.
