No, I'm serious.
I've scoured the S/R sub-forum for this question, and unless I revive some long-ago-dead thread, I won't find an answer.
Some people find it easy to say "I love you" and some others consider it a very difficult or special thing to say (or even feel).
* What is, in your opinion, 'love'?
* In what situation would you start feeling that you're beyond infatuation and are in fact 'in love'?
* When is a good time to say it?
* When is a good time to hear it?
and so on.
Personally, I think I need to re-evaluate (COMPLETELY) my definition of love, because at the moment it's a very shallow, silly perspective that I have. I get tangled up in my own feelings and blurt something out that I later am like "whaaa??" about. And I never know how to gauge if someone who says "I love you" really means it or not - I tend NOT to give them the benefit of the doubt, and view the whole love deal with a lot of suspicion and cynicism. Hence this thread.
