I love YOu? Options

Valentine's Day is not for everybody. Of course there are loners out there. INdeed, I am one of them. =/

But Love is such a strong word. Well maybe not for these days. People are saying "I love you" to almost everybody without any meanings. It is like "how are you?", basic conversational pharse. Also almost every Valentine's product selling at this time have BIG WORDS 'I Love You.' What people need to make is having products saying 'I Like You' instead. That will certainly be awesome! Love is such a strong word to use without meaning. So I'm not using it when I'm ready, Keeping the meaning of "I love you" special. Until then... ' I like you ' will do.

just because you're a loner doesn't mean that you have to hate valentine's day. i'm a loner by choice yet i loveee the idea of valentine's day. i'm in love with love

personally, i think that "i like you" isn't really that great of a phrase... people can like many things, people like coffee or chocolate or dogs or even a cookie. so liking a person isn't really that big of a deal... valentine's day has been so commercialized and overdramatized that saying "i like you" is kind of like a slap in the face when you're expecting an "i love you."

sure it sucks but that's how society has misconstrued valentine's day. instead of a holiday honoring your relationship with your significant other. it's now a holiday where you have to stress yourself out about what to get them, planning a romantic expedition, etc.

but it kind of forces you to do your own thing. like make up your own words to put in a card and express what you feel and what's in your heart.
