I love YOu? Options

[tktrang]

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.

Whilst I was reading a bunch of shoujo manga, most of the time, if not all the time, the girl or guy telling their significant other "I like you!" The first thing they said was never "I love you," rather it was "I like you." It just goes to show that love is something that develops and takes time to manifest, whereas like is just the first step towards "love."

Although, like can mean different things, right? Like as in friendship-like, like as in like-like (pre-love), and then there's like as in family-like.

Love is such a strong word, thus that's why I'll only use love when it's crucial. But you can't help but admit that you do love someone. No one can define like and love for you--it's your own perception of it.

There should be more things that say "I like you!" That way, I can give more of those things to my friends, to show my appreciation for them! They might be weirded out if it said "I Love You!" because love is a more serious version of like, after all.
