I Heart You? |
  |
Boy and girl, presumably going out, or maybe, friends, secretly in love with eachother, or even just friends... Suddenly, one turns to the other, QUOTE I love you <insert response here> What do you reply? I mean, the list is endless of things to say..
And sure, there are some replies that you want to hear.. but then again, some that you don't. ARGH and then there are those people, that just say it for the sake of saying it.. those who only say it when they mean it... those who never say it at all.. those who don't know what it is... "Love" = misunderstood. What do you think?

Question: Based on a true story?
|
No, just something that I was thinking about.
|
If I don't like her: "Sorry, but I don't feel the same way."
If I don't like him: "Fuck off, faggot." If I like her but don't love her (friends): "Oh. Uhhhhh" (I don't know what I'd say) If I like him but don't love him (friends): "I'm going to freak out now, k?" If I love her back: "BABY TIME!"

it depends on the situation really, but those who say it for the sake of saying it- sad *shakes head*
|
If you love him back: Od ani ohevet otach
If you don't love him back: When you say "love," you mean "like" ..right?
|
I don't say "I love you" unless i mean it.
If they (they= guys i don't love) say "I love you" i just smile and hug them. They can do what ever they want with that. But, if they take it one step further and make the stupid mistake of asking "Do you love me" (when i clearly don't) I just tell them that I don't.

When I say "I Love You" to my KINDA boyfriend... (I have had a crush on him for ages and he likes me in that way to but we arent really a couple, confusing, yes I know.) He generally says "I love you too" or "I love you more"
But sometimes when I say it im not sure if I should say it. How do you really know when your in love? Confusing. Anyway... I spose you could take it many ways. But people who say I love you for no reason all the time annoy me. You should only say it to people who really do care about.
|
Right, which brings me to my next point. I'm having mixed feelings towards people who reply with "i love you more". I guess it really depends on the tone, but I think, that in general, it's not as serious as an "i love you, too".
Does anyone understand what I mean by that? And to answer your question, I think I have an answer on how to know when you're in love. I think love, is the ache you feel when they're gone. Ironic? Mind you, I'm not pessimistic about love. I just think that it's been misused, to the extent where the term has lost all significance, unless used with absolute sincerity.
|
I understand what you mean... are you talking about a particular person? If so, if that person says "I love you, too" AND "I love you more" then thats good... but it REALLY depends how they say it.. Like I goof around with my best friend Linda... we have fights about who loves each other more ALL the time. So if its like that then... maybe they love you as a friend. And I agree about the whole "I think love, is the ache you feel when they're gone" But i think i'm not mature enough to be "in love" cus SOO many of my friends have been "in love" but then broken up 4 weeks later... and not really cared. And yeah, people should only say 'I love you" if they mean it. I say it to my mum, best friends and relatives... thats about it.
 Like, i started saying "I love you" to this friend of mine. And at first I didnt mean it at all.. but now I do. And I am not really sure if he knows that I mean it because I said it when I didnt.. does that make sense? Wow. Love and all this stuff can be soo sooooo confusing..
|
Like i said before, I'm not talking about anyone in particular. It was just a thought. I just don't think that "i love you more" means as much as "i love you, too". I think, that the second you "more", it turns it into some kind of game... Just like lily said she does with her friend, although she said fight, its pretty damn obvious that its not really a fight, but more a friendly argument aka game, and I don't really think that it's a game at all.
I"m not having a go at you, its just my opinion. I know what you mean about that other friend of yours, who doesn't know whether or not you're being sincere when you say you love him.. which takes me right back to my first point - the term has been misused!!! And right there, are your consequences. Yeah, it sucks. Now, moving on to the most painful and hated thing that can be done - someone who says "I love you", because they think it's what you want to hear. IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT, WHY SAY IT? duh. And then, when they go, "you know i love you, right?", and you know they're just saying it, it's ever so tempting to answer, "no", but you can't, cos you know they're trying. But still, it's stupid. STUPID.

If im with someone i don't tell them i love them anymore
I try not to get close to people
|
if love is the feeling u get when they're gone, an aching of sorts - then love die fasts. love is so much more than longing for their presence - love is also being able to be away from each other. detach urselves from one another. im not a bible basher, but ull find a nice lovely definition of love in there and thats the one i live by.
|
i agree whole heartedly with prostitot's comment about their absence. it hurts like a fucking bitch and theres nothing you can do about it. and that can be the worst part of it, being absolutly helpless in your situation.
it can also be really detrimental to your view of love as well if someone you really care about tells you that they dont believe in it... you tell them that you think you're in love and then they turn around and say 'no, its not love. dont do that to yourself.' how can anyone reply to that? if you argue then you'd get into a fight, but if you leave it then its still just as bad.

This is what I was thinking; except for that bit about the bible, I haven't read that can you tell me where to look to find it?

Corinthians 13:1-13
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." ...it brings a tear to my eye. theres plenty of other definition type things on love in the bible, this is my personal favourite 
|
That is indeed nice, I have actually heard excepts from it before just never known where they were from.
|
yeh that happens to be one of my favourite books of the Bible- Corinthians, the love chapter
btw, its in 1 Corinthians, not the 2nd one for those who got lost when looking for a more understandable version this is an easier version to understand, basically all that kiki put up. if you dont like the God references, just ignore it 1 Corinthians 1:1-13 The Message Version 1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. 8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. 11When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. 12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

These keep getting better and better; I really should read the bible someday.
