These word can have great power over a person. they can be used as a form of light appreciation or to reveal a persons deepest feelings. So I was woundering


What do these word mean to you?
are they just an over used set of word or are they rare and deep.

Has anyone said them to you?
(details and descriptions for 'awww' factor)

Did u feel the same way and say them back?



i'll post my opinion in a bit, when im not so tierd

Yeah I hear these words ALL the time my friends tell me it but its only a joke heh and once you know what NVM ^^;; too um er personal xP hee hee anyways thats about it I never had a b/f but oh well ^_^

I think it depends on what's going on, and if it's your mom or not. :mellow:

i admit that im too young/immature to grasp the real meaning of "love"

What do these word mean to you?
they are rare and deep words, but at the same time, they can be really painful and destructive.

Has anyone said them to you?
not as such; i've said it to someone else, and they've said that they felt the same way, but they never actually said the words themselves.

Did u feel the same way and say them back?
see above.

I LOVE YOU ALL!

Did that have an effect on you? I hope not. Love can only be love if both people like each other.

:think: Hm...I don't know whether or not I should share my experience...

Love can only be love if both people like each other.Not so, it's possible to be in love with someone that doesnt return it or barely knows you exist which can be a little annoying, fortunatly beer in large amounts helps with this.
As for hearing the words unless family counts then no.
What does it mean? well one definition is a situation where the other persons happiness matters more than your own, so even if it means you're miserable if being with someone else makes them happy you dont intefere. In the case of family it means I will break many bones in or kill anyone who messes with the ones I care about/doesnt treat em right etc..
Yay I managed to go through it all without falling back on Evangelion bits, always a danger having gone through it all again this week, quite pleased I managed to not reference bits of it in this post really.

There I agree. It something deep for Love it a very strong word and should be used wisely.

I'm with MuFFiNmAsTeR. :heh:

Maybe you'll learn soon. But there is no way to really know but to experience it.

even when i was with my g/f i didnt know if i really love her or not.

I think it is pretty hard to tell but what do I know. I have never been in a relationship past friends.

I've experienced love. And believe me, if you are in love, you'll know.

Maes why did you just have to beat me to the punch again.... probably best you said it though, no one would listen to me if i said it

:heh: Ahaha! Well, it's happened to me before, too. Numerous times. It's about time I got to say something first.

What do these word mean to you?
it depends, one of my friends says it alot. but its more like someone saying 'awwww thanks'
But they are powerfull words and can show and hold so much more when said at the right time and to the person u care about the most

Has anyone said them to you?
yes, we sat there after talking about everything for about an hour...she said she was scared of the words, that they made her feel weak and vunerable.. then she put her head close to mine and said, the words resting one of her hands on my cheek

Did u feel the same way and say them back?
yes i do, and i did say them back. As others have said, you know when u are in love and i knew i had been but she didnt say it till then, not till she thought she would loose me.

hmm i've been using it in vain lately. actually.. it's kinda true. i say it to my friends all the time, especially if they give me food and stuff. haha and umm i always say it to my tennis pals at matches to get them up and stuff. so yeah.. i rarely say it to the opposite sex in a relationship. i guess i'm still looking for love then?

Maybe you'll learn soon. But there is no way to really know but to experience it.

I have experienced it, but that doesn't mean I understand it. :\

It's like magic.

Hence the "maybe". Oh well. MAYBE someday you will.

those words are very hard to say...well for me...

i am the type that totally hides all emotion what-so-ever...i guess it's from being a loner most of my life........... :mellow:

well if you hide your emotions think how powerfull and wounderfull it will be for the person you say them to.

hmmm I always here those words from friends. saying how much they care about me but never from a girlfriend. I would never say the words I love you unless I knew I truly meant it. When I went out with my ex everyone knew I was head over heels with that girl but still I never said to her I love you because I knew that it was too soon. I love you is not something you can say after a few months it takes a couple of years to know those feelings

It also can take almost loosing a person to see that you feel that way

I hate the word...

The idiot who decided to add "love" to our dictionary should be eternally tortured. It has so many meanings that I'm always afraid of using it, for fear of being misunderstood. Why couldn't we have words for different types of love: towards you parents, towards your g/bf, towards your pets, towards your relatives, etc. Then of course the different amount of love (e.g. I love you less than I loves Mary, but more than Sally). Thats why I hate the damn word...

i hate the fact that love is literally a word. you really cant say its anything else. we label this emotion, and the other etcs along with it..... <.< Grrrrr. I find extremely annoying how it can pursuade us soooo so easily. XD

I'm not really sure about meaning of 'love', but I know a little about 'I love you'.
('Love' is a little diffrent from 'i love you', right?") :heh:

For the first question, it is to express that how much you love your family or your friends.It's quite common.
Another meaning, is like "when a male likes female", but It's REAllY rare that it mean it.
Some people just use it to make fun of other people by saying it, causing such an embarassment to them.

As for the 2nd question, my dad and my mom usually say those to me.
Another thing is, my female classmates makes fun of me by saying those words, and they actually didn't mean 'it'!

Lastly, 3rd question, when my dad and mom called me that, of course I call them back, because they were hardworking to grow me up (and my family,too)!
When my classmates makes fun of me, I didn't reply, and I just ignore them!

That's all the question and answers from me!

What do these word mean to you?
... it means too much to me....

Has anyone said them to you?
yup

yup

i'll post my opinion in a bit, when im not so tierd

To me, these words are over used, and I think the only time they are rare and deep is when you are trying to find yourself a person to mate with. If I ever find a person capable of loving, these will be the rarest and deepest words I have ever said.

Yes, I've had people say them to me. While I was growing up with my parents, they said "I love you all the time to me." Most of my family has said the same to me. But unfortunately, I don't love anyone (except my friend, in a friendship type of way). I have hated my parents for as long as I can remember. Whenever they said "I love you", I would either ignore it, or if I was irritated by them, remark "Sorry, but I don't love you." Sometimes, I would just say "And this is the reason why I hate you."

Fortunately, that was quite a while ago. Now, that I'm employed, indeed a bit on my own, studying at college, etc., I rarely see them (and make it a point not to if avoidable), and so we can both live in peace. So to me, the word "I love you" mean nothing if I don't love the person back.

=.= 1 sided love is so painful...it's like "i want to tell you I LOVE YOU" but then you can't...the only thing you can do is admire her. Anyone have that feeling? or am i just weird and lame because i'm not brave enough to tell her i like her?

That's not true. I had this exact same problem. I think I had a 6 year long obsession with this girl. You need to approach her and tell her how you feel. Otherwise you'll just go on regretting it. And eventually someone else is going to beat you to the punch. Even if she doesn't return those feelings, well, it hurts, that I know. But I think it's better to come out with it then wonder what could have been.

the thing is, i want to say i like her, but i still want to be friends with her. There are so many "If's and But's". Sigh...i think i already know the time i'm going to say to her. Her prom...

Wow you know I have the exact same problem, we must be sisters Neerolyte. (That's a figure of speech by the way)

I love you to a random person, "You are sooo funny, I love you!"

I love you to a friend, "I love you, I wish you eternal happiness, but fsck you!!"

And using this definition..
if you trust somebody,
are content with them and will have no other,
take comfort from their mere presence,
if you accept them as they truly are and feel no need to change them,
if you are concerned for their well-being enough to keep them from grievous harm,
but devoted enough to allow them to make mistakes and grow ...

you probably love them.The deeper I love you.

The only person outside my family who said "I love you" really meant "I want to make you commit suicide with all the evil I diffuse into you" ......

Hah. Fun. Actually, when I say "I love you" ~~ I mean that the "you" person has a rope around my heart, and whenever that said person does something harmful to his or herself, I hurt. And the other side of the spectrum, too.

Hm..
Seeing other people love each other is so sweet and I do envy their happiness...
But I still think it's gross to love someone at such a young age
becuase thats just puppy love and someone will get hurt..

But if someone is truely ready to commit themselves to a realtionship.. go for it! And if you get rejected its ok cause there's plenty of OTHER fishies in the sea.

@ Nerro
*smacks you in the head*
Be a MAN! Don't go chickening out! If you really like her, she'd probally like you back. And if she dosen't I'll hook you up with someone 10 times nicer, cooler, prettier and smarter.

iv never used this word bluntly before (i mean like.. iv never used it in a casual joking manner)
except for last week... we was playing cards and friend said "i love you" (because i put down a card that would make him win) and i said "i love you too"
erhh.. well yeah.. that was the first time i ever used it in a stupid way....

but ya.. iv used the words only once with full meaning...

What do these word mean to you?
........ depends who said them to me.....

Has anyone said them to you?
family and some friends - in a friendly way, not anything deeper

Did u feel the same way and say them back?
haha yes. :)

But ive never actually gone and said them for real myself. XD Its always a cuddle or something like that..... ^_^ But i would like it if someone were to say them to me, even if i didnt like them back..... i mean, who doesnt like it when they know they're loved? :P

What do these words mean to you?
To me the words "I Love You" mean that someone really liked you a lot for being what you are. If they don't like you for who you are well then that means that they don't love you.
NOTE: Always be yourself around people and don't act like someone else just so that someone will like you.
Has anyone ever said it to you?
Only my family.
Did you feel the same way and said it back?
No. It's annoying seriously. They keep saying it and I get more annoyed by them except my mom.

They're really deep words. They shouldn't be abused.
No one's actually said them to me, and I haven't actually uttered them to anyone (outside family). Saying those words can ruin a very good friendship. It's so wrong, but it's oh so true.

I feel there are three kinds of meenings when you say "I love you"

1. in a sarcastic sence.
2. in a lovey dovey sence.
3. in a friendship or family sence.

personaly I think it would be much nicer if it was something you would only say to a lover. My friend will says love is what you say to somebody that you are willing to die for whether it be boy or girl old or young. I have been starting to bieleve my friends thinking more and more.

"I Love You" ~

The three words that many of insignifigant humans take un-seriously. They say it to impress, lust and tempt people into thinking something that is actually true. Many a person trick themselves into this obsession. It is something that can, and should, be thought about emotionally carefully.

Love is a word for passion, the word for love. Love has nothing to do with sex. When people say, "We're makin' love." it, truly, doesn't mean having sex. Love is the strongest bond between a spirt, and a mind. Only love can connect each.

Religion, so far, can be defined by itself. You love The LORD thy GOD.. That, my friends, is the only meaning of love that we can find out. Loving our Creator is so far the only definition of love. If someone loves another, you shall never abuse the other one's feelings/emotions. Never...

If people can find the true, deeply true, meaning of "I Love You," than they shall be the ultimate emotioictic mind of passion ever. It's meaning may never be actually found, but I state-state!-that love, love.. can be possible...

Love isn't blind, it only chooses not to see. I love you all!

Depends On The Person's Sincerity.... But Dont Be Fooled By Those Words Too.. If i Thought Them To Be Meaning Full And Deep. Another Can Think Of Them The Opposite.. They Can Manipulate You With Those Words. yhenno Sayin' It When They Don't Mean It, Makin' yu believe a False Feeling : (

(CAn yOU NOt WRite LiKe ThIs? It is really difficult to read and type. :))

I hate it when younger people say that they love their boy/girlfriends so much they would die if he/she leaves them or I am going to love whoever forever. For goodness sake, you are not going to BLOODY marry him/her and spend the rest of your life stuck with him/her neither will it be a happy ever after ending! People get divorces and they don't die. Then again love does not equate marriage. Maybe those people should replace love with the following words: are lusting for/ having a stupid infatuation for/ disgustingly fancy/ overly in an irrational way obsess over

I believe this is a result of fairytales which always starts with once upon a time and end with happy ever after. Let stupid children face the truth! Don't read a fairlytales to children unsupervised!

reading fairytales gives a positive outlook in life for the little ones that one day they their prince charming will come. but bleh, dreams dont always come true.

Love is Life & Life is Love. As Dark exists only w/ Light, you cannot Live unless you Love. Love is selfless. Love is infinite. Love is patience, trust, & loyalty.

Therefore, the words I love you shouldn't be used if the love part isn't there. And yes, Love at first sight IS just lust.

Ooo ooo I agree with Kets!!

Love is selfless. Love is infinite. Love is patience, trust, & loyalty.


unfortunatly, a love like that is nearly impossible to find, especially if you don't know where to start looking :mellow:

Therefore, the words I love you shouldn't be used if the love part isn't there. And yes, Love at first sight IS just lust. You ever get that feeling that you are going to get along with someone, almost like you knew them before? I consider that love at first sight, even if the love is only friendship, or more.

I think that's different from what Ketsurui has in mind.

"even if the love is only friendship" <-- that's not the same kind of love she's talking about. She's talking about romantic love and such . .

My simplistic view: only say "I love you" if you mean it, whether it's to your parents, siblings, lovers, or whatever =)

Love is Life & Life is Love. As Dark exists only w/ Light, you cannot Live unless you Love. Love is selfless. Love is infinite. Love is patience, trust, & loyalty.

Ok. We might be related in some way.x_x

Serious, I could say something like that...

Lol ^^ It's my final conclusion on love.

Patience is a virtue.

On my part, I think love is when you always want the other to be happy and you care to see that person smile (as Pure xtC said). You'll fight for it and won't let anything stand in the way. If the other dies, you don't forget about them but you don't keep mourning because you know that that person will always be in your heart. You are honest to each other and you don't compare them with anybody else. You're content with that person and don't look for a better one to come along.

"even if the love is only friendship" <-- that's not the same kind of love she's talking about. She's talking about romantic love and such . .

But what's romantic love, then? If it isn't friendship-love + lust?

*Shrug*

It's a great feeling but I sometimes have difficult to say it, I don't know why! I know it's stupid... because there's no special moment when you can say "I love you", but it's important to say it to people you love and it's always great to know that someone loves you... so let's go!!

To me the words,"I love you" mean nothing to me.

I think the phrase is overly used.....I hear it everyday.....I know they love me....there isn't really a need to say it.....if the love is there.....then there isn't a need to be reminded of it daily....it's like a routine after awhile......it should be used less often therefore making it more memorable when it is said:yes:

It depends who says it and in what context they use it in. Like if you do something (a big favor) for someone and they say it, it probably doesn't mean they literally 'love' you, etc.,.

Yeah, and even if they say they mean it, they might not. *wince* Good thing there's Someone whose love never fails, wavers, or changes.

But before I get flamed or yelled at for going off-topic, I'll head back to my first statement: You have to be careful... "I love you" carries a lot of weight, but the other person might not see it that way.

Does anyone here have a slight problem with "I'm in love with you"? I feel like the word "with" implies mutual feelings, and sometimes that just isn't the case.

"I love You" has been said, written, and used so many times that it has almost lost all of its meaning; its also one of the hardest thing to say.

*sigh* (seems like i sigh alot) I have said i love you to a girl and the feelings went both ways, i probably only told her like 2 times a week because i didnt want it to be overused.......And sheed still be my gf if my parents didnt decide to move (longdistance romance isnt worth it) we're still good friends but we dont have enough time for romance and we both understand that, in fact her new bf is now a good friend of mine

i like it when people tell me they love me.

even if they dont mean it.

...just something about that phrase that makes me smile....

i like it when people tell me they love me.

even if they dont mean it.


...I'd prefer the truth, even if it isn't what I want to hear. "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

as much as the truth hurts (and it can hurt). its better than livivng a lie and creating a bigger problem later.
