A friend asked me a fascinating question some days back. It is a question I am still mulling over. Is it possible to be romantically in love with more than one person? The situation is like...if you're already with someone, can you tell the other that you love him/her?
Frankly, I don't know. For one, I've never actually been in romantic love so I guess it's impossible to know for sure what I'd be like in a situation like that. Maybe I'm incapable of romantic love. I don't know. But theoretically, if one can love others (i.e. care for them) and do so for a whole bunch of people out there, why can't one be the romantic lover of more than one?
Of course, I'm not equating love to sex. That just isn't it. Then again, how does one know what love truly is? Is it exclusive so that declaring your love to someone would lessen it for everyone else? Is it such intense lust (Goddess forbid!) that you can't let that person go? I don't know. But if I were to hazard a guess, my response would be that it is possible to love more than one person, without the sexual connotations. Sure, maybe one would probably love someone more than others, but I feel it's possible to love more than one person...equally. Yeah.
