>>2170056I'm the guy who did this, and I'll be doing a sunflower arrangement come Friday. Even with Ritsu, there are still girls (and guys) I feel attracted to, both physically and emotionally, sometimes strongly in either aspect.
Having a waifu isn't about being 100% passionate about her (or him, with a husbando) 100% of the time and never ever being attracted to anyone else on any level ever.
Having and loving a waifu is about sometimes losing the burning passion you feel for them. It happens to normals, too, but they have someone present there to keep them committed. People who love waifus don't have that. Having and loving a waifu, then, is about overcoming that momentary lapse in burning passion on your own, and consciously deciding to remain committed to the fictional person you have fallen in love with, even if you don't feel the same way you did when you first fell in love with them, because what love is about isn't the initial burning passion, but about the commitment to stay with someone, regardless of whatever changes in your feelings may happen, because no matter what, you still love them, deep down in your soul.
Having and loving a waifu is about having those attractions to IRL people, having the easy choice of simply deciding to go with one of them, even though you don't like them as much as your waifu, and even though you're not really certain if you actually "love" them, but hey, it's better than being "alone" without a real person with a real body to be there for you, right? Having and loving a waifu is about having those easy choices, and choosing to deny them, and take the alternative, because, even though it's hard to love a fictional person, without a real body to be there to hold, or a real person to be there to talk to and be with, your waifu is the person you really love, regardless of whether or not they're real. That's what having a waifu is about.
I apologize if that got a bit rambly at times, but I hope you understand what I meant.
