love, why's the word thrown around so loosely Options

[sweetdreamsx3]

I guess some people just really want to know what love is, so they say that their "in love"...

[xsweetdreams12x]

Yes. I totally agree.

I hate it when they're like, "I love _______!" And the date they got together was the previous day. It's so pathetic... it's not as if they truely loved them. True love takes time.

I dont use it unless I really mean it. and I only ment it with my current bf so yah..

yah, u cant really diss it unless u know wht it feels like really..

but thts just me

[dani41790]

yea that bugs me too. i hear some of the younger couples say that they love each other after like one day i really think its wrong to say it if you dont mean it. but umm i dont say it unless i mean it because thats not something you say unless you mean it

[slurp]

yeah sometimes it really gets to me when someone says " i love you " too much and you dont even feel it anymore, nor appreciate it and the word love should never be abused it eventually gets boring, but yet again it wont hurt for your boyfriend to remind they love you sometimes

this has been bugging me for a lonnnng time. proably since about grade 5, when we all started dating and having our fun little boyfriends and girlfriends. i just never saw how it was possible that after going out with somebody for one or two weeks (or even days), you could absolutely love them.

i see this everywhere, even to this day. seriously, hardly any of the people who announce it daily on their sn's, journals etc, actually know what love is.

does this piss anyone else off. i don't believe that the majority of us could actually have the opportunity of falling in love in our teen years. i'm not saying it couldn't happen, of course it could. but not in the large percentage that everyone is claiming.

It's just extremely annoying because if this word is being used so often, what the hell will we say in the future when we actually love someone with all our heart?

k bye.

I LOVE YOU ALL :@

omg! i feel the same way!...i would have a boyfriend and they would tell me that they love me. and its like only 1 month in the relationship. sorry but i get mad!

thank you, finally someone who asks about it. what is love? seriously? all you people that throw around love like a roll of toilet paper, heres a question for you, do you really know what love is? i know i dont. i wish i knew what it meant and how it feels. someday i will. awesome topic.

[Roxy]

You know what? Your right I have to agree with that, see I think that there are two types of love one that is i CARE for him and one is i LOVE him. Unfortunatly too many people say I LOVE YOU and dont even mean it! How am I supposed to beleive it when you have said it to how many grls before me??? See what I mean??? It makes no sense!!!

[s0emotionalx3]

because in the english language there's only one word to describe that feeling and its "love"

like i love my friends, but im not "in love" with them.

^ i think that makes a bit more sense. I mean there's many different meanings for love. When you go out with someone, what else CAN you say? I like you? Well they already KNOW that you like them. Why else would you be going out with them? Saying I love you jus means you care about them a lot. You say it to your parents and your friends too and sometimes what most ppl do is say it when they know they care about a person, but they're not really IN LOVE with a person

[lisaaaaaaa]

it really annoys me, too....i'm going on to 7th, and i really think i love a guy, cuz i've like him since 4th grade and really started loving him in 5th. and it seems immature but its not :/

in 6th grade, there were lotsa "couples" and it really annoyed me cuz people were like "oh i love you!" after like 1 hour. and when they break up, a few days later, the person asks another person out and thinks he/she loves them. it really annoys me cuz love can't happen 20 times. ><

I can understand why people think that love is thrown around alot. ALot of people use it like magical words that will get you laid or something.

I always believed that love is jsut one of those things where you cant fully describe it. When your in love you just know you are. You either have it or you dont.

I too get annoyed when young kids use it and think they know what i means... But honestly maybe at 12 or 13 love is exactly what they feel. When i was thirteen i loved a girl because she was hot and because we talked. Thats all i knew about love. Love was just a really big urge for someone. Then around 15 i started to mature and believe that love was one of those things where you have a strong attraction to their looks but also their personality. And now at 17 i believe that love is that unbreakable bond to a person for who they are, and that love is something that always has to be worked at. I cant describe the feelings or emotions of love. But when i was in love it was a powerful feeling and i never want to let the feeling go...I guess what im trying to say is that at 12 and 13 kids use the word love because all their emotions are stretched to its max and that they feel that the word love fits in to that description. And as people grow thier views of love change and start to form and thats where the word love becomes less used, however when its used, its more felt. As we grow up its not that we werent in love before, but maybe because our love grew...So maybe when we were young and when we used the word love, we actually meant it, but now that we're grown we also know that there was much to learn about this feeling we call love.

For those who ask me what love is, i give them a straight answer and say that love is one of those things that cant be described... That love is just so big and so powerful that putting the emotions and feelings of love into words just wouldnt do it justice.

I do know however that when you fall in love with someone, that the love you have for them grows with each passing time. That your love for them will be more then yesterday but less then tommorow.

People say love cause it's like the word "yo". You can throw it in anywhere and have it make sense.
