he is moping

From 'Freud on the couch'


It seems only to have come to mind when he was seventeen
and in love for the fi rst time. The object of his affections has
returned to school and. He thinks particularly of
her yellow dress.


Hi

Does it mean that he couldn't do anything because he falled in love?

Many Thanks

'Does it mean that he couldn't do anything because he falled in love' (had fallen in love)
Not necessarily, as in the Wordreference dictionary, it means that he is feeling down and sorry for himself, but that doesn't mean that he was unable to do anything.
