U-huh. I knw whatcha mean. The problem is. The word "Love" gets thrown around alot. and probably shouldnt be used so lightly, in ANY circumstance.

In my opinion, I do not like the way some people like to make this distinction- it just satisfies people's desire to say "I love you!" to people without it necessarily having to mean anything other than "I like you." And so later when they move away and you say "I thought you loved me" they can say back "Yeah, but I was not IN love with you...". Cheap, if you ask me.

But that is just me.

Well, I cannot pretend to be the world's greatest expert. But intense emotion like this is something worth putting a lot of thought into.

Yeah, but that is so obvious that no-one would need to put it like in the thread title. When someone says "I love all my friends!" anyone with a brain knows that is not literal. But when someone needs to feel the need to specify it as Neo asks about in the thread title, that is when alarm bells start to ring for me, because that is when I think they are just wanting to be able to say they love someone without the possible guilt of changing their mind later.

I don't disagree with what you said at all. I reckon when people are trying to tell someone "I love you but I am not in love with you" they are erroneously saying love instead of like.

I don't mean that man. I like (love?) this one girl, I really do. I'd NeVer take anything back that I ever said. Even if she ****in shot me accidentally with a goddamn gun and all, hell, I'd still love her. I really would. Im a madman sometimes. i really am.

Thats why I said its an english language thing (I my point of view).
In portuguese they are actually to different words.
