It's like a dance, you have to learn the steps.

How to Love No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind. But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer... ...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together. Comment with your character, preferences, and what side you'll be playing (learning, teaching, whatever you'd like). Reply to others. Do the thing.

[ could be either. he loves pretty freely but has a hard time putting that into a relationship since he figures he isn't deserving of one. ]

[Can be either learning (romantic love) or teaching (quite familiar with platonic/familial love and a tad bit romantic, could only teach someone with absolutely zero experience).)]
