Blog EntryLove is so often misunderstoodJun 4, '07 2:00 AM
for everyone
I understand why a lot of people have a difficult time saying the three magic words, "I love you".  It's not because they do not love, but rather, they do not want to be misunderstood or worse, rejected.

What I don't understand, though, is why a lot of people cannot imagine that people of differing genders not related to each other could possibly love each other.  It happens a lot, you know.  It's the difference between loving a person and being "in love" with a person.

I genuinely like a lot of people, and love a handful.  As for being "in love" --- I've been in that boat and rather than be lost at sea without Jack Sparrow to save me (I'm neither a distressing damsel nor a damsel in distress, hehehe ) , I think I won't spend time worrying about that great love and thrive on the relationships I do have.

Some people say "I love you" so casually.  When they do that it is as if the words don't mean anything and devalues the expression.  I only say I love you to people I actually do love.  So the next time I tell you I love you ... I mean it.  Believe it.

...

Doesn't mean I'm in love with you, hehehe.
Johnny Depp (Capt Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) --- now these are men to love, wouldn't you agree?

Well I wouldn't want to shack up with Jack Sparrow. But he would make an interesting date.

In an episode of Coupling,Susan was explaining that men would just say anything just to fill in the silent gaps in conversations. "One second of silence-they'll ask you what's wrong,three seconds-ask you if you had your period,five seconds-they say I Love You,just to fill the gaps.Anything else beyond five seconds,they end up proposing.Believe me,a lot of bad marriages start that way.."
