He has never read a romance novel or a manga....if he did it wouldn't be so hard for him to know what ot feels like.
Take me for an example...not only am i single, I've never loved anyone...not even a crush. But i kind of understand...
I meant more about from those around him. Being loved by parents and friends and family is how we learn how love works. That’s why it’s so damaging for kids to stay in a home where both parents hate each other and why divorce is actually a better solution for the child. We learn about relationships from the relationships around us. When we get to the age that we start reading books and novels, we have already formed the basis of what love and relationships are. It’s not about experiencing love in a romantic way. It’s about experiencing and expressing love in a familial and platonic way in early childhood. Reading can help you form a concept but it won’t help you actualise it. You can read books about how to swim but unless you’re in the water, you will never learn how to actually swim. Books can only teach you a little bit but actually being in the situation is the only way to learn. Love is the same as swimming in that sense. He’s had a hard life and is only just starting to learn how to accept love from another being.
Oh..right. they didn't mention anything about him or his family other than he's seme's bestfriend and his secretary...or am i missing something?
That’s the point. Wouldn’t they mention his family if his family is close to him? They aren’t mentioning it at all so we can only assume it’s either not a good relationship or he just simply doesn’t really have a family in the first place. Majority of all people who don’t know love in concept at all are children who never got to see love as a child. It’s not a stretch to put two and two together to get four.
He’s probably never known love because he’s never been shown what it’s meant to feel like from either end… I hope he gets shown and TOLD “this is love.” “I do xyz thing because I want to show you that I love you” and hopefully he will learn that love is this slightly painful and tight but fuzzy feeling in your soul that warms you up no matter the weather and sometimes can make you angry or cry. I hope he sees it as worth the trouble to pursue.
