You know what I miss?

The idea that love should be not treated with liberal levity, that it should be felt before spoken. The idea that a word is sacred ground.

As if that ever stopped anyone.

Ya know what I really miss? Love. Maybe one of these days again I'll have it again to take seriously.

Don't be surprised I join you in the not-too distant future.

i've discussed love in great depth with almost all the girls i've ever got involved with, what it is, what it means, what types they are. I am very open, and very generous with my love. I am a loving person.

I've gotten into little altercations with guys in the past about the word. It sounds silly, but if i know it's untrue, and they are just saying it because it sounds nice, i consider it a lie. And it is. It's a lie, and a mean one at that.

The Ancient Greeks had four different words for love, just to avoid confusion. C.S. Lewis wrote about it in "The Four Loves."

Philos: Brotherly love
Storge: Deep affection and caring
Eros: Sexual love
Agape: Self-sacrificing, unquestioning, 'true' love.

and so on ...

I agree, Hedonism. I didn't understand the concept you are explaining for a long time, but one day it dawned on me. I've treated the subject differently ever since. Some things should not be said until you mean to say them.
