Simon’s love life was complicated, but there was a pang, just for a moment, for this woman talking graphic novels with him. Ah, well. Tessa Gray, foxy nerd, was probably dating someone already.

About This Quote

If you are in love with someone, it is natural to want to spend time with them. That is perfectly fine. However, when you become obsessed with that person, it can become unhealthy. When you begin to feel jealous of the other person because they are spending time with someone else, that is when your true feelings come out.

You begin to act like a possessive lover and you begin to act like the enemy of your true love. The obsession will make you angry and make you want to destroy the other person. The only way to find happiness in this situation is for both parties involved to be completely honest about their feelings.

If Tessa was dating someone else, she should tell Simon about it and allow him to move on. If Simon was dating someone else, he should also let Tessa know if he wanted a relationship with her.
