Omg yes. I had this same conversation with this guy I used to date. 2 weeks into our relationship, he asked, "What if I told you I loved you?" and he asked would I tell him I loved him return. I told that we would be lying to each other, because there was no possible way we could love each other so quickly. So as an alternative, I said that we could say "we care about other." I feel more comfortable saying that, than "I love you." Saying those words isn't something I take lightly. A lot of people don't know how distinguish the difference between lust and love. One comes first, the other comes later, once you get to know the person, spend time with over a long period of time. I feel that people who are so quickly to say it (dating wise) are in a rush.
Also I think that a lot of people don't think about that there is difference between being in love and having love for someone. I just just talking about when it comes to relationships and dating. Because like you said, being in love with someone, you would die for them, make sacrifices, be there for them no matter what. Kinda like the same feeling with your family, but not in incestuous way. A lot of people "have love" for other people. When you have love for someone, that love can go away. Have, has, had. I hope I'm making sense

there is know such thing as online dating, these people are sharing interests and getting to know each other, but in order to date you have to meet in person to do that. And of course the term love is used too loosely just like the term hate is used too loosely.
And you would die for someone? How is that love if one of you ends up alone?
Yes. People "love" everyone and everything these days. The word has basically lost all meaning for most.
My definition of love is much like yours.
When I say that I love someone, it means that I unconditionally promise never to fail to use my time, my talent, and my resources to act in their best interest. While I can be loving to many people I can love only one person who will take precedence over all others.
Acting in the best interest of others does not necessarily mean giving them what they want. There are many things that we may want that are not in our best interest.
Yeah, I think it is used too often that it has lost it's magic. I always say 'really like' instead of 'love' for things. i.e: 'I really like your shirt!' or 'I really like ice cream!' I save the word 'love' for saying it directly to a person.
I don't love you the same as I love ice cream.
btw Catfish is a really good documentary. The trailer made it look a lot more action packed, but the film really left you in a WTF mood
