[ If one could see him, it would be easy to realize that N is extremely stressed out. However, for the first time since he came here, he only uses voice. Even then, there is a certain quality to it that suggests something is off. For one, you can tell just from his tone that he has to be beet red from embarrassment.I...can

Depends upon the context "crushing on" was used in. And what way we're talking about bending. People can be quite flexible, really.

[Don't mind him.]

[singularjustice]

...crushing on in a -- not the violent sort of crushing, or like crushing a blueberry. But in an emotional manner?

...I think this would hurt.

voice;

[fjordsnotfords]

It's romantic then. As in, they have strong feelings for you and would possibly be interested in a romantic relationship.

Oh I'm sure it does hurt if one cannot bend in such a manner. Others out there are capable of putting ther legs behind their necks. So as I said. It's just a matter of flexibility.

What does a romantic relationship entail? I mean, aside from, er, the intercourse.

...behind their...? [ Excuse him while he sounds shocked. ]

[Voice]

[toomanypetals]

...It means they like you. The kind of romantic "like".

[Obviously, Kanda has to help his socially awkward bro, right?]

Tch, what, does someone have a crush on you, kid?

[Voice]

[singularjustice]

But what does the romantic sort of like entail?

[ N needs more help than you realize, Kanda. ]

He said he wasn't sure if he was but he might be and that it might have to do something with loving me but he didn't want to kiss me --

[Voice]

[toomanypetals]

[Hmm. This could be difficult.]

It's... what comes before a romantic love. It's not as heavy as that yet.

[He's going off of a memory that is not his own. Excuse him if it's a bit odd.]

Che, if that's what he said, then he's probably just afraid. Coward.

[Voice]

[singularjustice]

...I don't...really know what romantic love means either, though. IT seems to involve intercourse but that's not all of it, is it?

[ N sounds just about depressed by the entire thing at this point. ]

What would he be afraid of?

voice;

[singularjustice]

[ He does. Teach him the ways of wisdom, John! ]

I do like him! I just -- don't understand how this liking is different from liking me like he did before.

voice;

[singularjustice]

As a friend? At least, I'm pretty sure he liked me like that. He did say he wasn't sure if he liked me before he said he might be crushing on me, but --

[voice]

[envoyeuristic]

Crushing, huh... I guess ya can think of it as a stage between normal friendship and bein' in love with somebody. Why do ya ask?

[voice]

[singularjustice]

Just...needed to know.

So what do you do if you're in love with someone? And how do you know?

[voice]

[envoyeuristic]

That's tougher! Love tends to feel different from person to person, and nobody's definition of it really matches anyone else's. A lotta times people can't tell they're in love 'cause other circumstances are stoppin' 'em from realizing it.

As for what you do... [He has some ideas, and he thinks they might have to do with whatever book N was just reading, but he figures he'd better stick to more innocent things for now.] Usually, once ya figure it out, the next step is tellin' the person you're in love with and seein' if they like ya back.

[voice]

[singularjustice]

...that makes this all more difficult.

What do you do if the answer is yes?

Firstly, to "crush on" someone is to love them, or believe that you do, usually without their knowledge or without reciprocation.

Secondly, unless you are reading a novel from the section aimed primarily at younger teenagers, you will likely not find your answer within them. I am going to guess that is most certainly not the type of novel you managed to retrieve.

Is this a special kind of love? It doesn't seem to be love such as that I feel for my Pokemon, or Ghetsis, or my friends. I am not sure how to classify it.

[ This girl -- she seems like she might be the kind of person that can explain this properly. ]

Voice;

[oglogoth]

It is along the same veins, but more emotionally and romantically involved.

To love your friends is to care dearly about them, not wanting harm to befall them, and generally wanting to spend time with them.

However, to love someone in a romantic sense is to do and feel the aforementioned points for them, coupled with wishing to spend and share your life with them. They become one of the most important things to you, someone you'd gladly choose to spend time with over others if forced with a choice.

While you would hurt to lose friends, you're able to move on. If you're in love with someone though, it would feel as though if you lost them...you'd be lost forever. They're an integral part of your life, your better half as some will call it.

Voice;

[singularjustice]

...I see. That makes a lot more sense.

So when someone is crushing on another, they think that the person they have a crush on might be that special person? The one they cannot lose?
