Is it normal i only say ily when i know i'm certain that i feel it?
Its not just with a romantic partner either.
I rarely use the term "I love you", because its a special feeling and I'll always ask myself before telling a friend this, do I feel love towards them? Majority of girls in particular throw this loosely around with their girl mates. I find that a really immature thing to do because I only say it when I mean it. Love is a feeling too, whether it be with family or friends.
Before telling someone, I usually ask myself 3 things;
Do I feel warmth towards them?
Would I do anything for them?
Is this just a temporary in the moment feeling?
is it normal I'm so analytical about love like this?
