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.

I've said it to my two serious boyfriends and have meant it for both.

The first one was Colby. My first love ever. Sure, I may have said oh yeah I love you haha to the others, but this one felt real. Our relationship was hard, always a struggle to see eachother. Finally, I ended it and thought it was for the best. Alas, it was not. We continued to be best friends and ocassionaly he would throw around the "L-Word". Eventually, I moved away and got over the relationship. He, sadly, has not and still believes he is in love with me. I only think he says that because I was the first girl he said it to.

Now onto the current love of my life. Tom. We didn't say I love you right away. I was too scared to. After what had happened with the last one, I didn't want to screw this relationship up. I can't explain the moment I knew, or how to describe the feelings. I can only say it is everything and anything I have wanted and all the emotions that come with it are worth it. All the great feelings make up for the pain and jealously that comes with the relationship.


ANYWAYS, enough ranting. Yes, teens overuse the phrase I love you and few too many have actually experienced it.
