Love is ultimately a choice, so sure. Your question implies a situation where one person is in love and the other isn’t. I’d want to know more about why learning to love someone seems like a good outcome.

Wow! So was I! Good to see you.

Trying to make new friends can seem overwhelming when there are so many ways to meet people on campus! You could join an organization that interests you (check out bc.edu/osi for a full list!), try getting to know people in your classes, attend events around campus, check out events in your dorm if you live on campus, try a group fitness class or an intramural sport. The options are almost endless!

Consider which choice will make you happier long term and try to choose that option instead of making an impulsive decision.

It is about a mile west of here in Newton, take Commonwealth Ave and turn right onto Centre St. Here’s a map of the Newton Campus: bit.ly/BCNewt

Eres suficiente en tu mismo. Lo siento que ella no esté de acuerdo.

Someone: you can’t imagine living without their virtues, and you can live with their faults (caution: this test doesn’t work until the initial infatuation has cooled somewhat). Something: Do you mean ice-cream? Poetry? Curling? All very different.

I don’t know if anyone actually believes that, but it is human nature to surround yourself with people who see things the same way you do. Challenging your point of view can be intimidating and it can feel easier to not bother.

There’s no limit to the number of people you could fall in love with in a lifetime, and everyone’s experience is different. Some first loves might be fleeting and easy to move past, and some leave lingering heartbreak behind.

Different people heal in different ways. Take some time to feel your feelings and it’ll usually be easier to let them go. Take care of yourself (food, rest, exercise) as well as you can. Talk about it with friends if you want, or don’t.

One of the benefits of age is being able to see that there are many possible someones for everyone.

Well, hello! Delighted to meet you!

¿Pero tal vez valga la pena estudiar por amor de todos modos?

I’m sorry your love is unrequited. It must be painful. But that pain will pass with time, and you will find others to love that will also love you.

It’s a major problem for people who believe in a caring god. The theological term for this is “theodicy”, and we have lots of material on it. Here’s one classic book on the subject for starters: https://bit.ly/bc-theodicy

That’s probably human nature to judge what you hear around you, isn’t it? Hopefully you are also surrounding yourself with kind and caring folks with whom you are finding meaningful relationships!

It’s certainly a real video game. Or do you mean the concept of destiny, as in fortune, or inevitable course of events? That has at one time or another been considered quite real in many cultures. I am destined to be a wall. You are destined to be a human. Beyond that, it’s hard to say.

My day was lovely, thank you for asking!
