People go out with someone for not even a month and they are saying they are in love with that person. I think a month is way too short to say something like that and it probably is just lust. The word is just tossed around. It means so much more to me then to use it casually.

There are so many babies and children on 'Answers', they think they are in love. They don't even know the very first thing about it. Yet, they want to be an adult, and they think they are one. That's why the word love has no meaning any more. No one knows the meaning any more. They get love, affectation, lust, and emotionalism all mixed up. They don't know the difference, so they say, "Hey, I'm in love".

No negative comment here. The truth is, I have no way of disproving the existence of God. Where would I begin? How is it even possible to begin investigating something that has no means of making itself known? The way I see it, you can believe it to be true as much as you want, but in the end, we humans know nothing. Whether you are a religious person or you are not, your truth is only one perspective of many. To assert that yours MUST be the correct one is pretentious. I'm open to theories of all kinds, but I simply can't be certain of something that offers no certainties. At least I know I won't float off the Earth tomorrow, because I can be sure gravity will hold me to this planet. My perspective, which is only one of many, is that when humans are unable to understand the mysteries which accumulate over the span of their lifetime, they simply MUST give it an explanation, no matter how far-fetched it might be. Simply put, humans cannot accept something that is inexplicable. Hopefully you're not insulted when I say that when something is investigated scientifically, it is not to determine an absolute truth, it is to try to understand and perhaps discover. Religion simply insists that God must have done it. No thought beyond that. Why is the bible to be trusted to this extent? I've not been given a reason to subscribe to it. I for one am able to live with the fact that not all can be explained or understood. Have you considered what your mentality would be like had no other person introduced you to religion? Would you be conscious enough to lead this lifestyle sans convincing from those that influence your life? Truly, I don't hate religious people, I just think that trying to explain mysteries using something so unimaginable as an omnipotent, omniscient being is a little out there. That's all. Honestly, neither religion nor science can ever answer the question "Why?". It's impossible. "What?" and "How?" are answerable, but not "Why?". I don't know why the universe exists nor do I know why we exist, and we'll never know. Even if you say "God made us and the universe", we still can't determine why he did so. Scientists can say the Big Bang was the beginning of the known universe, but we don't know why that atom-sized, infinitely dense and infinitely hot sphere of matter was even there in the first place. We can only ever theorize, whether science or religion is the medium. No one can be "right" in a matter such as this.

Some people do just throw it around to get what they want. But I think a bigger part of it is that I believe love has many different levels. You have love for family love for friends and love for the person your dating or married to. I think a lot of people say I love you because they love the way they feel when they are with that person. But I am not really sure it's a bad thing. It is good to be loved or hear i love you no matter what level it's on.

I don't have any problems being able to say I Love You but when I say it to someone it is because I mean what I am saying!! Someone people do this because of the way that they were raised and some people just say it because they think it is what you want to hear!!

no. i have never had someone say they love me after a month and i've had several partners. i've never used it casually nor had it used casually to me. however in my current long term relationship my partner tells me several times a day that he loves me. one of my friends says she wouldnt want to hear it that much otherwise it would become meaningless. what a lot of tripe.
maybe it's teenagers who you are talking about who throw it around? i guess it depends on the person.

i definitely hear what you are saying. I know a lot of people who are "in love" after merely a week.
I think everyone falls in love over different time periods but people throw it around like its no big deal. And then people wonder why so many get hurt.

"Love" comes in different shapes and sizes. The love I have for my Buzzard(my male friend) is sure different than the one I have for my dog. I do love Buzzy...and I can say that honestly because I love his persona, his attitude, his beliefs, his honesty, his ability to take all in stride........and that is only after a month. So, you see, I believe in love. But, it doesn't mean that I want to marry him or have his children. It just means he has a very very special place in my heart.

you want to know a funny story? I made out with a guy once, we talked a bit about what we wanted but nothing serious happened...and he said 'he felt love' right now just like he felt love with his 2 years long girlfriend!!! The poor girl. I hate it too!

Yes, you are so right.
I'm not sure they mean any harm by it, but they do water down the word when they do that. Often, we mistake emotions for love and they are two entirely different things.
