An aquaintance says "I love you." moving way too fast for me I don't like to throw the L word around... It's sweet but it just rubs me the wrong way, is this normal? :/
I could never tell a girl I love her unless I notice that minutes we're not with each other is enough for me to miss her, that I can almost predict her responses to what I'm going to say, predict how she'll laugh, if every time her eyes meet mine she become more and more perfect. This takes serious time, and serious soul searching. I'm 18 and feel this way for a 43 year old woman so what do I know?
I never say that I "love" a girl anymore. That's for teens who lack a better word which is "attraction". I say I'm attracted to girls.
Why would you get turned on by someone randomly saying, "I love you"? Of course it's normal.
It's normal. That's why I never say "I love you" unless you're my mother. If I do say "I love you" to you, it's because I know you know me well enough to know how I mean it.
Yes, especially if you are from the group that takes the word very seriously. Not everyone does though.
I wish there were more words to describe the different levels of love that people feel. I think that having more specific words for it would eliminate some of the confusion. I find it easy to "love" others, but not easy to fall "in" love because the two are different types of love. I love my family. I love my friends. And every now and then (very rarely) I fall in love with a man.
i feel the same way its like "hey we have been dating for a month, i love you!!!" i dont understand it.
Is this someone you're romantically involved with at all, or are they just saying it in a "I love you as a friend" way? Either way, I think it's pretty normal.
If you're romantically involved, it's normal to be uncomfortable with hearing that before you're ready, because it puts pressure on you to say it back.
If you're not romantically involved, it still be really uncomfortable, even if they're saying they love you as a friend. I hate it when friends tell me they love me. It just comes across as pushy and clingy to me.
Anyway, you should tell them you're not comfortable with it.
Depends. If it's like "I wanna marry you!" kind of love, then yeah I'd be a little taken aback.
But what's wrong with loving your friends, acknowledging the fact that it's different from the love you feel for a significant other?
