i think the phrase "i love you" or words to that effect is slightly without meaning anymore. count the amount of times in a day that you hear someone say how much they love something or someone. people seem to be whores with their quotas of love somewhat.
the word seems to have no meaning now. as lovely as it is to hear someone say "i love you" or "you know who i love, _________" it doesn't seem to have the same meaning and mega deal ness that it used to do. like in old films and the like people would only say it as a last ditch attempt and after lots of trials and tribulations. but nowadays if someone dressed well or holds a door open for you or looks interesting in a bank queue or sends you an e-card you get the "i love you" treatment.
i think a new word needs to be invented a word that means more than love, so that people can keep using love in it's now frivolous form but in super special instances you can bust out the big guns and lay a new lovely word on someone. i don't know what it could be or how long it'd take for it to become common practise but i think it'd be good. tirade over.
