• Currently Listening: Demon Days

  - Dare [Gorillaz]
  I don't seem to understand certain couples now-a-days.  The ones who obsess over their "significant" other, when they've only been together a few weeks. The ones who constantly put there girlfriend or boyfriend everywhere to show everyone how "lucky" they are.  Putting there boyfriend/girlfriend before friendships.  How can you absolutely love someone when you've only known the person a few months?  I admit that years in the past, I myself used the term freely too.  I'm not sure if its coming of an older age, or just gaining experience with women, but I'm very objected to saying "I love you" outside of a practical joke or friendship. Its been 4 months since I started dating Robin, and we have not said the words  "I love you" yet, outside of the caring manner.  It does not mean our relationship is any weaker, slower, more serious or less serious then the next, but I care about her and really like her.  I smile/feel good when I see her and greatly enjoy talking and hanging out.  But with those emotions, I still just don't blurt out, "I love you" without truly thinking about it before hand. Love is a very serious thing.
  People often confuse lust and/or liking someone with love.
  Love is something that needs to grow and develop over time, not something just blurted out after every hangup and goodnight kiss.   I don't care how much time you spend chatting to each other on the phone, hanging out, taking pictures. Love needs a long period of tiime, and one could probably assume more than 85% of teenagers do not actually experience love. I'm not just targetting teenagers specifically because it applies to anyone, however the teenage years are where the most confusion exists.
  Love is a mature feeling and people really need to get it straight.
