So my girlfriend of over two years recently asked me why I loved her and I really didn't know what to say. I know I love her because I just do but she's not content with that and she wants to know why. What should I say?
I just tell my husband I love him because he is an asshole and girls love assholes. After that I tell him it is because he has a good heart and all that bs.
well ask youself what are the things about her that I love like. the way she calls when she says she will the way she holds your hand how her smile is how no matter what she can always put a smile on your face
if your in love things like that are the reason why you are in love and its not hard :)
Give her reasons or traits that make her different from other women. Dont say things like, "coz you are sweet", "kind", "loving", etc. Say something that would make her different from others. Other women. Your girlfriend could be worried that you might lose interest in her, and therefore she wants to know why you love her so she could keep doing it or something. Or she could just be fishing for re-assurance from you. Some examples: -I love you because you understand me, more than anyone can. -I love you because I can joke around with you like a friend, and be lovey dovey with you as well. -I love you because you know how to carry yourself, unlike any other woman iv ever met. -I love you because you are independent and smart. I know I can rely on you. -I love you because you know how to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. You know how to put me in a better mood. -I love you because you stand out wherever you go. You have pride and confidence. -I love you because you take care of me. -I love you because you have a way of calming me down. And re-assuring me that everything will be ok.
Ok, I could go on all day, but I'll stop here. It is just another way for women to fish for compliments, and re-assurance.
I disagree with this poster--far too often people think they love someone but can't say why--then wonder why the love stalls out 3 months later--simple.
It was lust and not love.
I love my man because he is kind, giving, loving, sincere, a wonderful human being--I know I fell for him because of his wonderful qualities--this is how I know it is real and not based on amazing sex-- which admittedly we do have.
So if you can't answer the question, maybe she has a right to be insecure.
Trying to put reason on love is like using reason with superstition. If you love someone I firmly believe you won't be able to describe why or what it is about the person, because that's the nature of love, it's this unknown, uncontrollable, strong force that binds two individuals together.
Putting labels on it like saying, "I love you because you cook well, or you look pretty" just ruins the meaning of love. Love isn't bound to characteristics, it exists regardless. You love someone for EVERYTHING. The closest I ever got to love was with a girl who had plenty of habits I disagreed with, but that's just it, I couldn't explain it, I just, I loved her, I loved her despite everything.
If your girlfriend can't understand this I think she doesn't understand love herself. If she refuses any answer like the one I've given, just think of things that she does that you like, and tell her you love her for that.
I think this comes down to a insecurity kind of thing. She wants to know what exactly about her is "good".
Lets say she is fishing --what is wrong with hearing why someone adores you? Besides, as I stated, far too often people can't define why they like someone and end up losing out in the end because it was just lust and not love--been there, done that.
It wasn't until I was able to know what I wanted that I was able to find true love--it is VERY important to examine why we are drawn to people, to make sure what we feel is based in reality and not imagined. - 2 months ago
