Rants; A Tale Of Epic Annoyance

Couples Saying "I Love You" Immediately

These are teenage couples, normally.
It absolutely bugs the crap out of me.

Story:
A friend of mine started dating this girl. He was super excited, and I was excited for him, because I wanted him to be happy.
Now, he has the same philosophy as me; the "L" word is special. It's reserved for those that mean the most to you.
Don't get me wrong, I've said it to guys that I've dated.
But, the girl he was dating said it, and he said that he felt it was too soon, and that he was uncomfortable.
She disagreed.

They'd been dating for 4 hours.

But the thing is, I was sure that I felt strongly for them. If I didn't, and they said "I love you", I didn't respond.
Now, this seems mean, but I refuse to say "I love you", if I don't mean it.

The last time I spoke to my father, years ago, he said it, and I simply said "bye", and hung up the phone.

Why?

Because I won't say it unless I mean it.

So, if HE can't get an "i love you" from me, what makes you think that I'll say it to you, just because we've been dating for 2 days?

And then girls get all bent out of shape because they "feel like he doesn't really care about them because he hasn't 'said the three words.'"

Gee, do you ever think that the poor guy is uncomfortable?

Same to the guys who say it and then demand the same response after dating for 3 days.

How about you screw off, mkay?

Now, I feel like, personally, that, after 2-3 months, you're in a good zone to talk about "the words".
This is if y'all were good friends before hand.
If you guys did a blind date thing or something, hit it off, and jumped  into dating immediately, then I'd say 4-6 months.

I feel like some sort of trust needs to be built before you go around, talking about "how much you love" whomever.

So, if you've been together 5 days and already you "love them with all your heart!!!1!!!1!"
(I'm looking at YOU, fellow teens)

Kindly shut up.
