"No you don't...you don't even know me"...so yea...the word LOVE is way overused...


People don't love enough because they think love needs to be exlusive. Exlusivity is the problem in our world. Like love needs to just be for romance, certain neighborhoods have to be for certain people, etc. When you become a stickler for what something HAS to be, especially love, you weaken it. If I have a lot of money, and I want to help people; I would give to many people. But you would say; find someone and give it all to them. There is a difference between ''love'' and ''in love''. Nobody says ''I am soooo in love with this pepperoni pizza right now''. As for what I quoted earlier, if your gf/bf says ''I love you''; smile and be happy, maybe say it back. If they say ''I'm in love with you''; then you can get all neurotic about what society as a whole accepts for your life in terms of WHEN it's right to say that.


I'm thinking you might have taken that out of context. I think she was referring to people she'd just met that said that... J M O



Yep! You're exactly right...but his opinions are cool...:wink:

I say it with true meaning. When I love, I love deeply.
I can vouch for this

Thanks Phuque :) I didn't take it out of context, I knew what she meant. I think if you say it right after ''Hello'', then the girl should be very suspicious. Think about this though; a lot of tough guy bikers meet a new friend, have some beers, laugh a lot, and before the day is over, in the midst of laughter; they go ''Man; I love this guy!''. And nobody gets weirded out. And it's not just a figure of speech either, they love the guy. Love in our society needs defining. I'd say it's the opposite of Hate. It's a notch above Like and two above indifference. Romantic love needs a slang. This may sound super lame and un-thought out (and that it is!); but let's say ''I heart you'', HAHA. People in love are generally corny enough for that to work. Tell whoever you want that you love them, but when the time comes with a special person, say something like ''You know what, I heart you!''. That's stupid and someone could do better at slangerizin' the emotion of being ''In love'', but at least I'm trying so lay off! HAHAHA :P :P :P

We need to establish a difference between the two ideas, of opening ones heart to another human being, and wanting to spend your life with them in a romantic way, or bromantic, whatever, HAHA.
