New terminology! (Darkside-specific)
From now on, I'm probably not going to be referring to my thing with Darkside, whatever the hell it is, as 'unrequited love', because that suggests a lot more angst than there is.
Instead, it's 'asymmetrical love'.
It's balanced; we're very much friends, and we put proportionately equal amounts of effort into the friendship. (He, being who he is, doesn't devote a lot of time to friendships; I, being me, do devote a lot of time to friendships; I think it's safe to say that of his friendships, I'm one of the ones who gets the most attention.) It's wonderful. We both care very deeply about each other; it's just that I wist for a romantic relationship with him, and he does not, so much. It's balanced, because we're both okay with each other, but not symmetrical, because the absolute amounts of attention we put into the relationship are different, and the catagorizing of the relationship is different...
It works. Asymmetrical is the word I was looking for.
