I've never been in love before. True, there were a couple of times that I felt something that I thought might be the beginning of real love - most of them were in high school. Unfortunately, the ice in my veins isn't just something that my poor friend-zoned peers and ex-boyfriends came up with to make themselves feel better about my inevitable rejection. Somewhere along the way, I decided that love was a social construct that has no basis in fact. No, really. I wrote a paper on it during my Freshman year. I got a B+.
