I think love is such an overrated word. It's so cheesy and corny, and it doesn't even sound good. "I love you"? Seriously? If some guy(except of course my Jacob) tells me that in a romantic fashion, I might actually laugh to his face. Not because I don't love him back, or whatever, but it sounds so off to me.
Can't people think of something else? I love you is so easy to say. People should find their own unique ways of saying it(or even showing it if he/she is not much of an orator) to make it more sincere and genuine. It sounds so cheap and..meh.

I mean, I know to each his own and shit like that, but the whole imagery of a two people meeting each other in a date and one of them says "I love you" then an orchestra stars playing in the background, with candles and sparks(not really fireworks, but maybe like a certain gleam, like sunlight maybe? just to compliment the candles.) and probably even snow(because snow's so fucking beautiful, so ignore the fact that it's summer, or maybe that the setting is in some place in Asia where it doesn't even snow e.g. Philippines) suddenly falling makes me shiver, and not the good shiver, but the bad one, which I also unconsciously do when I think of a really hot actor(e.g Matthew Bomer) farting.

The only way the words "I love you" can become tolerable yet still somehow romantic(because you can say those words in a tolerable way without it being romantic. such as when you think the world's ending and you say, "I love you mom." It's fucking hilarious. Do people even actually do that?) is when it's said in a random situation where it's absolutely unexpected.

Example:
Let's say you're watching a movie. Let's make it an action movie, like uhm I don't know, Iron Man, and you've suddenly grown a huge crush in RDJ's charming playboy character. It's the scene where Tony Stark is in the military car thing and is suddenly being attacked. Your attention is on the screen, watching every movement Downey(or his stuntman) makes, when suddenly your boyfriend, who you've completely forgotten is right beside you, calls
You don't even look at him. Downey's about to fucking die, and you're pretty sure your lover boy's just gonna ask if you could pass the popcorn(which actually is in a reachable vicinity of your boyfriend), so, with your eyes fixed on the screen, you ask in such a way that it doesn't even sound like a question,
"I love you."

Pause. Rewind.
Well that caught you of guard.


Cue annoying chorus of "AWWW"s.

But yeah, basically that's the only way those three little words could be said without me having to make loud gagging noises to un-hear what I just heard.
Important note: Girls must nottt say it. Girls have this uncanny way of making anything sound incredibly mushy and cheesy. As a girl, I know. I do it too. I don't like it, but it's like my second nature. We can make anything sound cute. Such as shit. I mean, when a guy says shit, he says it as it is. Shit. Crap. But girls have to make it unbelievably girly by saying, "Poo poo."

And please, do not think, "I've fallen in love with you." is any better. It's worse.



HOHOHO just had to let that out.
