The Word ''Love'' Options

[Eternally_Yours]

I totally agree with you. It really irks me when people say "I love you" when they don't really mean it. Those 3 words should be said to someone that you truly love and not to just every guy/girl that you go out with. I've been going out with this guy for almost 3 months and I still haven't said "I love you" to him because, the fact is, I don't yet. Maybe soon, I will, but just not yet :]

By now we've established that it really does annoy us when people go on and say the words ''I love you'' to ppl whom they have only recently been going out with and don't really mean it.

But how many of us have actually done that? :D


Guilty*.




*Look at my opening post :X

Whoops.

[sheepy]

well yeah i guess you're right. yeah, i said it and meant it. but i don't know. whatever (:

[dragyn]

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

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.

^ That's from the bible, right?

yeah. i agree with it though. pretty high standards, don't you think?
but that's what it's should be.

There's nothing wrong in using the word if you really mean it, but if you OD it they def. won't believe you when the day comes that you do feel that way.

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.

If there was 16 pages on your search...doesn't that tell you something?


Anyways, I've only said it to one girl, and I know how a felt. I don't use strong words unless I mean them.

Well it hasn't been closed yet has it?

I'm glad a lot of people here don't throw around the word though.

Congrats, bro.  Sounds like true love.

To this day, i still regret saying my first "i love you" to the wrong person.  The minute those three words came out my mouth, i knew i'd wasted them.  *sighs*

agreed - i wasted my first "i love you" oh well

I don't get mad, but I do notice that is carelessly thrown out there. I mean, there are a number of reasons why people might say it.

- They think it might be the thing they need to solidify the relationship.
- They want sex
- They think it might save the relationship
- They might be confused, but feel obligated to say it

I've seen a number of examples from each of the above. Love is a tough thing to figure out. Some people never do.

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.

You know, now that I think about it, I tell a lot of my friends that I love them, but I really do. People that I truly consider to be my friends, they are people I love.

love is something that takes time. When u first meet someone new and ure totally infatuated with them u may feel ure in love but its not. You have to truly get to know that other person and build that trust with each other blah blah. Love is like marriage material.. dont waiste the word

Yes but friend love and relationship love are different! Obviously .
