dfbrooks888 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 My GF just broke up with me then I told her I loved her and she said that "I love you" is overrated..........AND "I always knew we cared for each other." We had been going out for a year now. I had always shown by my actions that I loved her, I just never said it. What do you think?
TaraMaiden Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 I think the words "I love you" are vastly over-used to the point where the word 'Love' is done to death and even trivialised. I mean, how can anybody 'love' sailing, hot dogs, little kittens and chocolate, all using one word? I know they mean different levels of love, but I think it's high time we invented different words for those different levels. Heck, if the Inuits can have 30 words for different types of 'snow'.... That being said, I certainly could never date anyone I really had very deep feelings for, without telling them I loved them. And yes, I'd want to hear it back too. Providing they meant it. I wouldn't want it as a reflex response.... my ex- once finished off a phone conversation with me, by saying 'thanks for calling'.... which he always said to callers who'd ring him to troubleshoot Technical computer equipment problems.... I got so mad.... She probably wanted to hear it from you long ago, subsequently fell out of love with you, and realised how 'over-rated the term is....if it rolls off the tongue as easily as *Thank you/you're welcome!* then it's over-rated.... it becomes a habit, and subsequently loses its meaning. And appeal.
