How freely do you use the word "love"? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

barwars · 07-31-2005, 07:59 PM

Do you tell people you love them all the time, including casual friends and relatives??

Or are you more likely to use it "only when you really mean it"? I put that in quotes, because you can't really judge whether someone really means it or not.

I use it casually, but not that often if it that makes any sense.

I don't use that word with people very often. I show my love other ways, a pat on the back, bbq'ing for friends and family (if a steak off my grill does not let someone know I care, no amount of words can), praise, and standing behind someone I respect.

Things I love? A sunny day that is not too hot or humid with a blue sky. When someone smiles at me and says something nice.

As far as people goes, I don't really use the word "love." I've never been in love and usually don't think of expressing that I love my family members. Towards my family, I use it especially when someone is out of town by calling them and telling them "love ya." So, no, I don't even use it casually, not even with friends.

I think of "love" as a strong word/action to just use freely. I mean, I don't really think about it when I am talking with people.

I love my husband and my kids and my family(well, most of them) very much! But I rarely tell them so!

I need to work on that!

I find myself in the same predicament. It seems the ONLY time I say "I love you" to my parents or to my sister is whenever they are away OR there is a crisis happening. Other than that, I don't even think twice about it. Tsk-tsk-tsk....

G-Force Glockstar · 07-31-2005, 09:37 PM

I don't really say "I love you" much at all, I usually just show it.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 07-31-2005, 09:39 PM

I hardly ever say it. At all. To say goodnight to mom, to my dog...I don't say it to friends or anything. I can be a really touchy feely person but ONLY when I open up which takes me FOREVER to do.

Wellll...sort of split.
Ill use it casually, in context of being exceptionally happy or something- "ohhh!!! i love you!!!" but seriously for real "i love you", not too often. the "l bomb" is a big deal to me in a relationship.

oh, but a few drinks and ill tell everyone at a party that i love them sooooo much.
