"I love you."

[The Reused]

well, i use it with my mom because it just makes her happy  

[KoRnfucius]

It is definately overused, which is sad. It's funny how, the first time you say that to someone and really mean it, it takes so much to come out and say it, and that afterwards it's not a big deal anymore. It seems like there should be another higher word because the impact of the word love wears off too fast. I make it a practice to only say it when I mean it.

I dunno, I just feel it's over-used. I tell my mom I love her all the time because I do. But what about my aunts? My grandparents. Do I really love them, or do I just say it because it's polite?

I only say it to people I truly love. I'm very, very careful about that, because I feel that it's a phrase that should NOT be over-used.

I say it to my mom, my brother, my grandparents... and those are the only relatives I will say it to, because they're the only ones I really love. I say it to my best friend all the time -- I DO love her. I say it to my boyfriend on special occasions, but only because I waited almost a year to realise that, yes, I do love him, so it's okay to tell him so.

You are SO right. I've thought about that, too, but then what happens when that higher word is over-used? That's why I consider "love" to be the highest of the high, and I only use it when I really mean it.

Most definitely it is overused.

"Hey, I love you"
"I love you too"

Smiles all around till they break up a day later. Though I do believe that society has come to degrade what it truly meant to 'love' someone. If you want more of my opinion on this please ask for it over PM because I have had many discussions over this and have a very well thought out opinion and very thorough opinion.

Very overused.
I say it all the time to annoy my friend.
I'm like "I love you Bobo!" He's like "....... Okay....."
I say it only to my friends and family. And my friend's little brothers.

<.<
I love the look on their faces when I say "I love you!"

Yes its is a very battered phrase. None seems to have any repect for it at all. Love is something far more than the common lust. As for the parents I really cant say I say it only to suck up. Fior me Im not sure of what love is so I rarely say it. When I say it to my girlfriend I mean it.

People use it when they are being sarcastic, deceitful, and manipulative.

3nodding Sadly, that's too true.

the term i love you is a strong and powerful word that should be said carefully because they could make or break someone's life. some say it out of fear of losing the person they care about and that is nomally why they say it. so if before i end this i say i got a new way to say "i love you" for anyone who wishes to use it: Sukiyo its Japanese and i have it tattoo on my back  

[babalonsatene]

I only say it if I mean it  

[OverlordMMM]

.....it depends on the situation to me.....if its something casual, or something for anything everyday, then yes...its overused.....or if its for love, but not definite love, then again yes.......its never overused if its something special......

(this might have become a ramble which makes little sense....sorry if it is....)  

[Imperior Zero]

It's definately an overused term. The way everyone just tosses it around like it means nothing. I tend to reserve it for the person I truly do love. If ou truly mean it though, its not overused, it cant be said enough.  

[xslipknotmaniacx]

I love the word I Love You but i get shy saying it even to my mom
