The Word ''Love'' Options

[Shahin]

Aight then, there is probably a topic on this, but I checked and there was 16 pages so $&% that. Feel free to close this if there is.

I've noticed that a lot of people my age (16+) throw around the word love alot. Now I don't have a problem with it if they have been going out with there ppl for a while, but it pisses me the $%$^ off when people have been going out for like a week and bam! they start droppin the L bomb.

I've only said ''I love you'' to two of my girlfriends in my life, one of them, I admit was to a girl I was going out with in 7th grade and I'll be damned if I meant it. I was young(er) and stupid(er). Even the girl I lost my viriginty to, love her? Naw. First kiss? Naw.

I don't know what love is. I've never felt it before...I think. This girl I'm going out with now is just crazy/amazing. She's a good girl too . I never get tired of her, and I never can stay mad at her. She's smart, and good..and beautiful and nice and everything good. I know damn well this ain't lust because this girl wants to take it slooooooooooooooooooooooow, believe me . But the cool thing is that don't even bother me :D. Last night she told me she loved me and gave me the whole ''people throw that word around way too much'' argument thingy, and I said it back. It made her real happy and it made me real happy.

Love is a strong word, and I think it shouldn't be thrown around as easily as it is nowadays. What yal think? Have any of you told a girl or guy you loved em and didn't mean it? Meant it? How'd ya feel? Anything.

Again, close this if it's been done :X.

"Even the girl I lost my viriginty to, love her? Naw."
well that is just horrible, and sad.

yes that is horrible, she probably loved you and that's why she lost it to you.

i've only said "i love you" to two people too...most people don't know what love is, they feel that they're obligated to say it when they're in a relationship.

Um. First of all, that (up) made me angry. I don't believe someone can truly love someone else unless the other person loves them just as much. So. I would say it meant they just wanted to have sex. It's unfair to assume that girls would only have sex for love whereas guys wouldn't. That's not true at all.

Second, I do agree that the word 'love' is overused. It sickens me when people just up and decide that they love someone they only just met. I've been going out with my current boyfriend for two years now, and I do want to be with him forever. I think people should really evaluate how they feel before they decide to toss around a concept that heavy, and make the other person think that they actually do love them.

I have never said 'I love you' without meaning it. It carries too much meaning for me.
