I find it that people now-a-days are using the term "love" very loosely. Confusing it will infatuation or just *liking* someone. Some use it just to get what they want.

What's your view do you feel the same way, do you think it has lost its original meaning?

Tell me!

Update: sry about that typo.i meant "with" not "will" <333    2 months ago

I kinda think young people have always used it loosely. Simply because we're not always able to tell the difference between 'love' and 'lust' since we haven't had much experience.
That's no excuse for using 'love' to get what you want, but I think for the most part it's just inexperience. I'd like to think it starts to mean more to people as they get older and more mature.

Question Asker I agree that it does sometimes "actually" mean something as you get older and mature - 2 months ago
katiesmuff It's too bad so many young people screw up their lives using that word so loosely. I'm talking about the 14 to 25 year olds getting married or worse (having kids) under the "I'm in Love forever mode" which usually is very shot lived! - 2 months ago

Well, when someone says, "I love you," it's still a very powerful statement. But I think you're right when you say that people use the term "love" loosely.

I remember when I was in high school, my friend had a crush on a guy who went to her gym, and she told me she thought she was in love with him. I think she just created a perfect image of what he was like, and she became obsessed with that image (he might not even be able to live up to those standards). I think that's what a lot of people do--they imagine themselves being in love with someone, and they don't separate the fantasies from reality.

And recently, I told my best friend about a guy I had a crush on, and she told me I was in love. I was really caught off guard by that. I'm not even willing to say I like him because I don't know enough about him, but she says I love him.

Love is still love, no matter what.

I do think that people have lost grips with it's true meaning, though. Yes, "love" is used waaaay too frequently in relationships. You are right--people do tend to confuse it more with infatuation or like.

Love is not who is hot or who is popular or who gets you what you really want. I think the best definition of love--and most beautiful--is found in the Bible. And there's something about the old-time word of "Charity", which was a word synonymous with "love", that kinda gives it even more:

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

(1 Corinthians 13:1-8 )
