Again, another question seeking other's experience and or guidance.

Is it possible to love (romantically) more than one person, on different levels?

Is it right? Or is it up to the person?

Yeap, holds bearing on a current situation. oh boy...the things I get myself into...

Yes.
The practicality of this is another question entirely.

Love is more than a simple emotion, it is a complex set of desires and actions and responses and very deep feelings and a bunch of other stuff I don't have the space go into. Poets and artists have been trying to define it and express it for all of human history. But I would argue that there is plenty of evidence that human beings don't control love as much as it controls them. People generally don't decide rationally "this person looks like a good caretaker, companion and counterpart to the lifestyle I desire, therefore I shall fall in love with them next Tuesday". Rather, in my experience, we "fall" in love, sometimes quickly, sometimes over a period of time, and only realize afterwards "awww crap, I can't stop thinking about this guy/girl, I think maybe I'm in love." And because its not a logical or rational thing, but something you only realize and come to grips with after it has occurred, it generally doesn't fit in very damn well with what is going on in the rest of your life. But its not really your choice and slapping ( ... )

I think that's sound advice.
