The phrase, "I love you"
In some people's eyes that phrase should only be reserved for occasions where one is in a state of being totally intoxicated by the feeling of love, or used with close family. Some people get scared by the phrase, maybe even the concept as a whole. Other's throw it around with great frequency, and embrace any use of it with open arms.
I don't think any sort of love is "truer" or faker than any other. In my opinion it's all love, in varying degrees.
I think any sort of relationship: non-sexual friendships, strictly sexual, generally unconditional, passionately romantic, family, etc. and so on is ultimately glued together by love at the core. I think most modern-psychologists would agree with that notion as well actually
I was watching the show "Wilfred" and at one point the main character blurted out that he loved some chick, and spent some time stressing over it for a while afterwards. It strikes me as very odd for some reason. Like what would he have to fear? What is she going to say? "Well while I do enjoy your company I don't love you enough to where I'd feel the need to say that to you in the traditional sense."
How do you feel about it?

I feel "I Love You" is used too much honestly. And large majorities never seem to understands it. We were told to love our grandparents, we were told to love our spouses. We were told from day one all the things we should love, so in my opinion, it's not really something anyone really knows until actually experiencing it.

Sheekle i read your opinion on love in many threads and even in a couple anonymous threads of mine, I always feel like you are right in some ways and if there was an ideal world everybody would love everybody in that world.
Even if everybody wishes that we lived in that ideal world, we live in a world with a whole group of emotions other than just love. There are also emotions like jealousy and greed. Some people these emotions will lead them to want to take as much of another persons love as they can take for themselves. If they cannot achieve that those emotions will lead to even stronger emotions even ones as strong as the opposite of love towards the ones that stand in the way.
I think that your idea of love in layers can work with a group of like minded people who all think the same way about love, but as soon as somebody with the emotions jealousy and greed get introduced the whole thing gets thrown off. And unfortunately most people in the world feel these emotions to one degree or another.

I see "love" as a 3-D, multi-faceted abstraction, not a 2-D thermometer or scale; and each soul emerges with a portfolio of love rations: i.e. 1 or 2 life-long romantic, 3 or 4 familial, 8 or 10 platonic, etc., not that this distribution can't be altered or that a person is obligated to use all of her/his "ration cards" in a single lifetime or that a person can't make mistakes in how s/he spends her/his cards.
Then again, our mistakes are karmic lessons, aren't they? Isn't that why "love" is the toughest, arguably most important, and probably the last lesson on a soul's Wheel?
I love my spouse in a spousal kind of way. I love my siblings in a filial kind of way. I love my cats, my friends, the girl who bags my groceries, my bartenders. I guess a soul grows dependent on the reinforcement it gets from other souls in its sphere of influence or locus of control.
And we haven't touched on how "love" can be corrupted by dogma, selfishness, self-hate, etc.

I was thinking about making this thread a few days ago. Glad to see it!
I think "I love you" should be said only in the most intimate occasions. It should not need to be said all of the time. If the love is real, it will be felt and does not need to be stated.
I believe that when somebody says "I love you" to their partner all of the time, it is because they are insecure about whether or not their partner loves them and they want reassurance. I resent this because love is a very delicate emotion and when your partner constantly says "I love you" in an effort to be reassured, they are putting you in a situation where you must either express a feeling that you may not be experiencing in that moment or face the fallout of their insecurity.
