View Full Version : Love, the word.

On New Years Day (midnight, of course), my girlfriend texted me and said "I love you" (and other stuff of course, Happy New Year! etc., but clearly you can see what's important) We'd been going out for 7 weeks, and had been good friends for about half a year before that. That was the first time The Phrase had been said. Obviously, I responded with "I love you too." :wub:

Now, it is the 5th, and we see each other in school and text each other every night, but neither of us have said anything about it. I do honestly mean it, and feel that she does too. Should we mention it, talk about it?

Having typed this out, I now think that perhaps school/texting simply isn't the right environment for it. We haven't seen each other outside of school since New Years Eve, so it couldn't have come up.

One of these days, I promise I'll learn how not to make such long posts! :rolleyes:

Thoughts? Experiences? Please, share!

I think that, if there's something you want to talk about, talk about it. Communication lines are always open in a healthy relationship, I've found.
Personally, I don't use the word "love" when I'm referring to my partners. It's not anything significant, it's just a word that I don't use, similar to how I don't use the word "anthropomorphism" on a regular basis. I've never found a situation where "love" was an appropriate word choice regarding a partner.
