The value of the word "I Love You".

In this modern era the word "I Love You" is perhaps the most abused word.People who haven't even meet personally just exchange those words without really having the emotional aspect of it.Men and women alike are saying those words so easily without proper evaluation.Some couples have just relationships for days,through phones,mails,and chat.Hey,are we really serious?Some often marry and just separate after a few weeks or months after marriage.Compared to the past generations,people of today just misused the word for personal reasons whatever it may be.When our forefathers mention that word it could mean death to them.They are always fighting for love,they will never say it unless it's true.Why can't we just follow their examples? Maybe there are still a few who value that word but most people just misuse it.

So true! Nowadays people are just confused between the phrases "I love you" and "I lust you." They always mistook the first one with the latter and it's very disappointing.
I'm a married woman and i get i love yous from different kinds of people online even though they knew the fact that i'm married and they have met me only for a couple of days and have seen my pictures. That's really crazy and i never considered it as love. Physical attraction? LUst? Yes. But love? Never.
It takes more than physical attraction for a person to love another. It's loving the person inside and out, through thick and thin, despite and inspite. And love doesn't fade a way easily.

I hope that this should be a lesson to young women out there who easily believes men the moment they hear them say i love you.

You're right,the world is full of lust by now.Yes, some men are just blurting out I love you just to bring you to bed.They don't even mind if you're married or can offend someone out of that.

I really hope it will change for the better,that people will appreciate the value of those word.The problem is,if it will be worst for the coming years because of better technologies.Then maybe,we should all carry lie detectors to know who's saying the truth and who's not.Just kidding!

I absolutely agree that these three words are very misused now. I have seen little girls telling their "boyfriends" this and it drives me crazy! They don't even really know what it means yet. I think once they mature they will realize but yes it is said way too easily now a days...

Yes.Kids really needs guidance from parents now.They usually imitate what they have seen in televisions and without proper guidance,they can do something not advisable.Close supervision is really important for the kids because they have easier access now to inappropriate things.

in this modern era, this 3 is used usually but only few people understand the deepest meaning and feeling behind these 3 words. if a person says that he or she love u then it means it is appreciated and like by the person. one enjoy the company and want 2 spend the time with him or her

the person who really love you, they wont tell u i love you easily, because they are scared of the fact that if their loved one say no that ll be aweful for him/her. Many people nowadays are attracted to opposite gender and they seems that it is love... that ll later turn to a -break up.so it is important that if you are saying i love you to any one, so we should actually mean it that we love that person and ll marry him/her .

It really angers me when people do that, especially teenagers. It makes those of us who take it seriously look stupid when we say it to our partners. Dating in the teenage world has become a joke, so it's almost embarrassing for me to tell people I love my boyfriend, even though we've been together for several years, because I know how it still comes across at the "clueless teenager".

That's true. A lot of women nowadays are lured into men who says the word "i love you to them". They haven't even interacted with them personally, yet they already say those words.
This 3 words, often would lead them into some troubles, when they do finally meet. There are now a lot of cyber cases involving people who said "i love you" at the net. It's a sad thing to happen to anyone.
Let's stop being gullibles.

I think, it is not about the value of the word, but how you value your social relationship to others. If you think that the value of your social relationship is high, or you prioritize it more than other things, then communication will be important. Many people today does not value their social relationship to much that they do not use communication to its highest potential. Many other issues comes out because of this. It can also lead to why the society is as of today.

Of course I always value my social relationship with others though I'm not really the type who verbalize it.I'm a person of action,rather than words.I really mean that the word I love you is losing it's value now like it's use by people too often,not heartily but just came from the tip of their tongue.They say it even if they don't really not feel it.

i agree,,, the word "love" nowadays was not understood by the modern generations. They loose track of what the real essence of the word is. Sometimes they relate it with "lust".
