What's it like to- to be in love with someone?

There's not really a set condition, but generally, it releases chemicals in the brain that are not dissimilar to the ones triggered by opiate use.

Some people react to that strength of feeling poorly, and they have, to continue the drug parallel, a bad trip. To others, it's the most natural thing in the world.

Really? That's awesome... I hope mine's going to be a good trip, once it happens.

I think having a positive outlook on it probably helps immensely. It's something you're actively looking for?

You're a grown-ass human being and you're having to ask this question? Were you raised alone in a basement somewhere or something? Jesus christ.

Y-yeah, I'm sorry for asking. [ All his courage related to asking something in the first place flies out the window and he begins plucking at his shirt. ]

Jesus. Do you need an adult? Where's your mommy? Should I call CPS? What the hell is going on, here?
