Three little words, but how do you use them, and how do you view the use of them?
i tell everyone i love them....even when im NOT drunk!!
i tell my mates, my kids, the dogs, my family.....all on a regular basis that i love them.....I tell friends ive only known a week that i love em to bits....if I think they are special, or have a gut instinct that they will become special. I use it to let people know just how FAB i think they are, and that they are special to me.
the thing is, i always mean that i do love them in a matey non stalkerish kind of way...but twice with two different people, its caused a bit of a kerfuffle when ive said it.
one said....erm....I THINK thats too strong a word....and the other just freaked completely...FFS
you would think i had pledged my troth to them......but i was a bit taken aback by the reaction
so how do you use the word....and do I bandy it about far to willy nilly??
and if i ever say it to you...please DONT run a mile and think that i want to marrty you and have your babies...its a figure of speech LOL...and it means I think youre fab!! :inlove:
The only person to whom I say those words with such depth and passion is Jay.
To my pals and people I lurve as pals I tend to say
'I lurve ya'...
I tell loads of people I love them ...... and I love to be told it too. Gives me warm fuzzies and I'd hope it gives other people the same.
My mates and me always sign emails with love or love you!
So no you aren't alone.
I use it very little but too Mrs Lost .......... god..........
HOW I LOVE YOU
Dave and I tell each other every day that we love each other and after 18yrs I think that is great...xxx
I wanna be like my mum and dad they loved each other so much it hurt right up until the day my mum died 2yrs after my dad after 38yrs of marriage...xx
i say it every day to both my children, more then once a day.
i dont say it to men. i did once 23 years ago and never again and probally never will.
i think its a very powerfull word.
xx fem xx
I told my husband I loved him every day.
I miss saying it.

On the occasions when it has been said to me I found it very moving. And sometimes the person carries on saying it non verabally by their actions in the little things of life.
It would scare me if anyone said it to me. Only person I say it to frequently is my son because I don't want him to have difficulty saying it. I find it hard to tell someone I care about them let alone love lol. I don't actually think I have ever been in love and have a lovely wall around me and an in built alarm that tells me to back off when people get too close.
Maybe my love was meant for my son?
I do have friends that I love to be around though and I care about them and they are important to me. I respect them and would hate to be without them.
I have several friends I love, more than some members of my family- ie my brother & sister. As the saying goes, friends are the family you choose for yourself.
As for romantic love, I fall rarely, but completely.
I also say it a LOT to the dog, child, family and best friends. But saying it to a man is another thing...takes a long time before those words come out of me in a relationship....my tongue kind of gets glued to the top of my mouth!!!
There is one person I say 'I love you.' to. I keep the word special! I know that I love others, but in a different way, and less intensely.
I hardly ever say it...I certainly don't say it enough to the people who deserve to hear it...
quoting myself from PM:
the concept illudes me.
Love i find really dificult to get to grips with.
Balanced against the fact that it, if reflected in another person, seems to make demands of me which I feel I would never be able to fullfill.

Plus, and this sounds awfull in the light of all the things said previously: I think it a grossly overused word.
But having said that, it's purely my own opinion of my own feelings. And I completely respect the feelings of others. You soppy bastards
