  There is nothing wrong with telling someone you love them if you appreciate them as a human being. If they do things to that you appreciate then yes it is okay to tell them they are loved. If they are a person who needs love in their life why not be that person that shows them. Does saying I Love you have to be said because you are having 'sex' with someone??? If so then you do not know the real meaning of love yet.

  Unlike everyone else, when I use the word "love" it has a special meaning, it's a word only used when great feelings and emotions are envolved. I completely understand where you are coming from. I do agree with jax.rebel 6, to an extent. It is nice to hear it, but what I believe you are talking about is when two young couples are together, they're quick to use the word love in their already young relationship. The word love is something you wont hear me use very often, I was raised that when you truly love someone you must know them. It took me three years to finally say that to my wife. The word is used to often, and thrown around like it's nothing. I know where you're coming from, and I just want you to know that you're not alone in thinking this.

  I think if you feel it then you should say it. Nothing wrong with saying it and hearing it. Now if you keep saying it to someone and they dont say it back then you should not continue to say it and realize that person does not feel the same about you. Now I also agree that young people in school saying it to boys and girls after they have been "going out" for a few weeks have no clue what it really means, but when your more mature and in a relationship you feel it so say it, otherwise this may not be the relationship for you.

  I agree very much so. It is way over used now-a-days and where are we going to go in a few years. I don't say it to anyone with out meaning it. So when it comes out of my mouth, to those very special FEW, they know I mean it. My "x" gf of 2.5 years, told me in two months of dating...and I simply told her I cared about her, but I would let her know when I knew that I Loved her. I have always wondered why people throw it around to casually...are they looking for acceptance, or love from another because they have low self esteem?? I don't know...but way to go on the post!! I believe more people need to think harder about their usage of "Love".
