If you’re NOT involved with anyone physically or emotionally, spend some time figuring out what kind of connection(s) you’re interested in forming, if any. While lust can grow and morph into love, and some people call it the first stage of love, that’s not always the case.

I don't quite get your point, to be honest. How is a male love interest as an additional option any problem? It's not NTR. I do understand your issue with NTR and common execution of it and i agree. i just don't see how it's related to "let's add a completely optional piece of content" like male love interests. You think and act with them in mind because their wants and needs are as important as your own in relation to the partnership you have. Prank your guildmates, date girls, cheat on them, get them pregnant, take part in the school life, practice demonology, necromancy, participate in cults and enjoy the dark comedy.But if all you are doing is lusting after someone and enjoying physical pleasure with them (or longing for that pleasure if you aren’t actually being intimate with this person), you probably aren’t willing to over-exert yourself to come to their aid when they need you. If it feels like it’s becoming hard work, you are likely to break things off with them instead of committing to them. 8. You see what you have as a union. Relationships can be maintained by each partner communicating how they actually feel and how they like to receive love,” he says.

So, if you get heart palpitations every time you see this other person, you feel a rush of excitement from even the slightest touch of your bodies, and you can’t stop fantasizing about them sexually, it’s probably lust,” he says.It’s natural to have your guard up a little bit most of the time. Nobody lives their life being completely open and vulnerable with every stranger they meet. Instead, you reveal different amounts of yourself – your thoughts, feelings, and past – depending on who you are with. Their problems are not your problems and you don’t want to concern yourself with trying too hard to help them out. 10. You want to grow as a person.
