"I love you"
and"I'm in love with you"
Discuss. Is one better than the other? I mean I would tell my best friends that I love them, but not that I am in love with them. So then is it considered a good thing for a significant other (SO) to tell you that they are in fact "in love with you" as opposed to them loving you the first time the word love is used?
Ok, blogfail... First attempt at this did not go through at all.
ReplyDeleteTake two:
Love is a very generic term that covers a bunch of more specific feelings or even states of being. To name a few: companionship, romance, passion, comfort, attraction, respect...
So, in my opinion, to say "I am IN love with you" vs "I love you" is to say that you feel more of these smaller parts and more intensely towards whomever "you" is.
I don't know which phrase is more appropriate for everyone's first time saying it but I think that with longer term relationships you go back and forth between being "in love" and loving.
Two over thinkers try to rationalize emotion... haha, just say what you feel.
