I will be very careful in how I use that word if I ever do again. I found it very easy to say those words to my ex. And I still "love" my ex. I am not IN LOVE with her anymore, though! I can not see myself ever again, in a situation, where I will tell someone I love them

~~~Those are some of the most precious words that we can say to another person. I believe in a romantic relationship they should only be said when it is "True" " Real" love. If you're with someone that has said these words to everyone they've ever been in a relationship with...it takes away some of the value of these special words. JMO
my last relationship told me that she "loved" me after we had been together for about a month and it made me wonder....I knew there was a lot more to learn about her and I was sure she did not know me completely either...so how could she love me, she did not even truly know me? I gave me pause to think how loosely some people toss those special words around, and I knew I wanted someone to know me a lot better before confessing to love me.
Love should be much deeper and come from a stronger base than just a little time.
But I'm not so sure I would be willing to bandy it around elsewhere until I was 100% SURE that really WAS how I felt... that I wasn't mistaking the feeling for lust or a crush, that might just fizzle out.
I try to be vereeee careful with my heart..
Well.. and other peoples..
Throwing them (or yourself) into confusion is never a good thing... (IMO)
So to tell someone you love them.. and maybe you don't reeeeeally reeeeally *Love* them.. is quite damaging I think.
