I think people are too quick to use the word "Love" these days. Too often people get love confused with lust.

DINGDINGDING! We have a winner!

|: sarcasm isn't exactly appreciated...... :P

But yeah, all too often do I hear about people professing their "love" to someone, then breaking up six months later.

[JrDude]

People don't know what love is, they just get weird feelings in their belly and have a crush and then they're all like "OMG I LOVE THIS FUCKING PERSON"

I often feel like I'm "in love," but after a while I am easily over them.

I wasn't exactly being sarcastic, it just bugs me how much "love" is tossed around...

"I'm in love with him/her"
...2 months later...
"He/She's a intercourse ing slut/poop hole/other insults"

You can love someone then not love them. It's not like the word is reserved for people who go out for x amount of time. You put the word on too high a pedestal (just like sex).

[JrDude]

You guys assume when you love, it's forever, sure the feeling is often confused with the lust feeling, but you can love and then stop loving. It's like 2 girls, best friends, they love each other, 2 years later they don't even notice each others existence for whatever reason. Not the best example, but as you may or may not know, I suck at examples.

This is what I mean, I would call that a crush, not love. There is also a difference from loving someone(like you would say to your parents) and being in love with someone.

Parental love and family love is 90% forever. It is rare for a parent/child to stop loving the child/parent, no matter how much they want to.

Yeah, even the mothers of murderers still love their kids :|

[Totla]

Well there are different types of love:
Family
Friends
Lust
Bf/gf
Husband/wife

It's not like love means one thing all the time.

Yes, they often do, but because they can't help it.
Though I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or being ":|" to that fact.

Try again.

That disgusts me. But I guess that just means

If you're going to say "I love you" to a gf/bf then you better make sure they're interpreting it the same way.

edit: And F_H, you didn't leave a source, but I trust enough that you wouldn't go through the effort to fake that. And this also ends my discussion about that.
