Love
I have to tell you guys something. It's really frigging important. If you see a guy around and think he's hot (or even hott, whatever the fuck that means), you don't love him. If you talk to a girl and think shes way pretty and you had fleeting thoughts of marrying her, you don't love her. Even if you want to date her. Trust me on this. And if you've been going out with a boy for a month, unless you know him in and out, acknowledge his faults (that means accept them and know that they're faults and love him anyway, not saying "well gee, he's so cute that they aren't faults lol"), would willingly and happily die for them, you are not in love. If you'd rather fall asleep in his arms than have sex. If you want the absolute best for them, even if that best doesn't include you. If you'd rather get a soft, innocent peck on the lips than full frontal snogging, partially naked, and if you'd rather slow dance than screw, you're getting there. Lots of other crap too.
The word love is far too overused these days. Back in my day (seriously!), "I love you" was something to be cherished, not something you say three days into the relationship.
For example, I love Nevada. I would gladly die for it. In Heaven (or Hell, wherever I go) I would have no regrets. The faults I acknowledge are some of the residents and the city of Las Vegas. (I'm only half kidding) I'd battle for it and show the scars proudly. (I would also rather sleep with it than have sex with it, but that's because, well, you know. cactus. sharp rocks. mountains. coyotes.) If for some reason, Nevada would be better off without short fat chicks, I'd move to Wyoming or some Nevada-like state in a heartbeat. I'd even move to Maine if I had to.
But anyway. Crush =/= love. Like =/=love. Infatuation =/= love.
Anyone else irritated by this?

No. It's just the way we young people talk. I think most people in general do realise the difference between love, like, crush and infatuation. The people who come here however don't always know that, because the people who come here have questions. We're struggling with life, trying to find out how it works.

Amen, sister.
No one really knows what true love is anymore. That's why we have such a high divorce rate. "love" is thrown around so much that it's lost a lot of its meaning. It's not fair. I agree with you 100 percent.

Oh yes. I also am irritated by the plague of 13 year old girls going "OMG!!1! I'm in LOVE with this guy, we've been dating for lyke a month now, and I love him so much!!!111!!"
However, it takes people some time to learn this for themselves. Infatuation can feel like love for the first time, so a lot of people make that mistake.
