Women are stronger than men.....strength is in everone, not just men. You don't have to be macho in order to be strong.

I'm a big fan of the word love.........tis easier and quicker than writing Fondest Regards on birthday cards n' stuff

I like "Love" when you mean it, and "Luv" when you are just using emotional shorthand.

 

[tonksy]

but signing something love or saying i love you flippantly, i mean when people know you are joking...for example..."aw...you know i still love you" is much different from saying "i love you"....like looking into someones eyes and saying completely honestly "i love you"....i have only done this a time or two...and at the time i truly believed it... so was it love and did it change? or was i mistaken to begin with?

...like looking into someones eyes and saying completely honestly "i love you"....i have only done this a time or two...and at the time i truly believed it... so was it love and did it change? or was i mistaken to begin with?

IMO, absolutely. If you truly believed it, then that's what it was. Love is a subjective emotion, completely dependant on each persons individual criteria. There is no baseline for love. Which is why we have conflicts such as "I love you more than you love me". How can this be accurate, since love is a subjective emotion? It would be more accurate to say "What I think of as love is different from what you think of as love". They key is finding someone with the same criteria as you

So, if your criteria change, as YOU change, then yes, you can fall out of love. Actually, my jaded self says that almost no love is forever, except for the love of a parent and a child. That love is unconditional, which is not something that is easy to find with any other person. My romantic self still hopes that one day I'll stumble across it.

Again, this is all IMO.
