Here's a thread thats likely to go nowhere

It's a word that is used far too casually these days. As such, it's lost much of it's meaning.

That's a very good point. Love, colloquially, means like... And that is a travesty.

There are some of us who still view and intend the word "love" with a heavy meaning. Despite all of my other flexibilities and shades of gray, I do. If I tell someone I love them, that is a thing of gravity. And I don't particularly like to be in relationships with people who don't feel the same.

As it should be.

My love bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you're drivin' me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away

So far, Jimmy, All your posts have made me laugh and, given the topic, I'm not sure that's such a good thing :P

"There's a difference between like and love. Because, I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack."

"But I love my Skechers."

"That's because you don't have a Prada backpack."

I wanna know what love is....I want you to show me....

I love straight razor shaving.
Love in the English language is well....I don't know. Other languages have better words to describe. I think the word is a bit overused and loses meaning. I hear couples say it ten times a day very robotic like and almost as uniform as saying "hello" when the phone rings. Very programmed and no feeling. You love your spouse and would do anything for her. You love your kids and would die for them. You love chocolate cake and you would....just eat it is all. But you used the same word to describe how you felt about your family.
