We tend to think we should reserve the "L" word just for those special occassions or people. Why? Can love really get overused? Sure, it might make sense when we are talking about inanimate objects, but when we are talking about people, how in the world can we ever love too much?
You shouldn't have to be married to someone to love them. Why not be generous with love? Love your friends, family, co-workers, acquanitances, strangers, enemies . . .
Just because you love much doesn't mean that the object of your affection becomes less special. Loving does not make you less faithful in your love. If you truly love, then you would never intentionally do anything to hurt those that you love. Love doesn't have to be romantic to be genuine. To tell someone you love them isn't capitulation.
Reserving your love reflects poorly on you . . . not the person you are withholding it from. Try telling someone you love them today for the first time. We all have people in our lives that we truly do love but have never felt it appropriate to let them know. That's just silly.
Haste to love, procrastinate to hate.

I think sometime when begging relationships it is important to be hasty on the "L" word. If you use it to early it dosn't seem genuine and you really need to build a strong foundation so that when you say that word it has great meaning.
True. . . However, I think the problem here lies in the fact romantic love isn't the only kind of love, and people often forget this. They also confuse lust with love. If you get to the heart of the matter and you know what love is and you know yourself well enough to know what you are really feeling, then maybe that is truly the answer.
