I don't think about it. I say it cause I feel it.

I would take a bullet for them, regardless of whether or not the other person would do the same...

Hmmm this just has me a little curious, I dont mean as in I am madly in love with you,

but there are lots of different loves, so when you love someone what is it..

To me it is the people who I care about, the ones who when i see a message or get a phone call I am excited .
To me its giving them a little bit of myself and caring enough to want a little of them.
I think its caring, enjoying, feeling hurt or happy for them when things are happening in their lives.
I think its just wanting whats best for them and being there.

I think I love easily and let people close.
But is it really Love, to me it is.

Hmmm what do you think..



To have a person stand before you and allow you to SEE them...how could you not love them?

How could you not love the beautiful facets of yourself you recognise, in another?

How is it possible to not fall endlessy in love with the HEART of a person?


And none of it, the romantic, sexual intimate variety....


the ultimate intimacy....to be allowed to see the WHO of someone, and not be dazzled by the what of them...


Josie, I love your softness....you are so easy to love...precious...gentle.

How could one not love those qualities in another?

I say it all the time an in a great variety of ways.

Everyday I tell my Dad that I love him. (like a child loves his Dad.)

I tell my woman that I love her. (like a lover)

I tell my dogs that I love them. (they don't try to read anything deeper out of it)

I tell my Chief of Operations at work that "I love you in a way that no man should love another man"...just to watch him blush in front of the troops.

I walk past the guys at work and say "I love you!!!"...They laugh like crazy and say "I love you toooooo!!!!"

I tell truck drivers delivering much needed supplies "You probably don't hear ths everyday but, "I LOVE YOU!!!"" (it alwys makes them laugh.

I tell the waitress bringing me a beer or a cup of coffee...."I love you".....always good for a smile.

When a strange chick compliments my new car....I smile and say "I love you"

I love plenty of Mingletards for the kind, happy fun souls that they are with no strings attatched.

Too damned many people have a screwed up idea that "Love" has one tyrranical meaning of absolute eternal devotion that applies only to them.

Many people are so hung up on that ridgid ideology and cling to it while using it as the reference for failures of the past, that they refuse to allow easy going love into thier lives because they have one definition of "Love" and it always refers back to someone who broke thier heart.

Me.....I am a Love Slut. I got lots to give in many ways. I love being loved in more ways than just a lover's love.


yer a good guy krup :thumbsup:

I tell someone I love them simply because that's what I feel for that someone - at least for that very moment I say the words. Sometimes, I couldn't find particular reason in loving someone but I feel like letting them know my real feelings so I tell them and I don't usually have qualms in expressing what I feel for someone.

^^this! Guess I've always been a love whore like krupa @ heart! Was taught not to wear my heart on my sleeve by the vile & toxic, but now that I know how to spot them that isn't so much of an issue! Here lately I feel like I've gotten that part of myself back to normal. I tell friends & family often that I love them, but I have had them in my life for so long it isn't a shock like it would be to those uncomfortable hearing that from someone that isn't a romantic love interest.

In LTRs I have heard those words more than the feeling was ever shown to me so in that sense I wish they wouldn't have said it so much or at least given me a contract so I knew @ what price that "love" came!

The phone call. Yeah. I was excited. I hadn't heard from my daughter in a while. She got a new deal with Tracfone. I learned that Walmart bought out Straight Talk. She says she has unlimited now and not just minutes. Said she got a new job. It was the highlight of my day.:smile: We shared some intimate moments.flowerforyou

i don't say it anymore

the last 2 women for whom i had those feelings weren't able to reciprocate.

i'll never again say it first and i'll never say it if i don't feel it.. . .


I went with a guy for three years...we never told each other "I love you". I asked him one day how come we never tell each other that? A couple days later...in email...I received this sweet letter with the meaning of "Love". He said everything he felt for me was highlighted in red. Not too much longer after that I asked him "where do we go from here?" He told me he wasn't in it for the "long haul". huh
