So you both are saying that the immature girls/guys who say this are so lovestruck that they really believe it, while the mature girls/guys who say this know whats going on but say it anyways? I think I am overanalyzing it.. should it just be translated to "I LOVE YOU ALOT ALOT ALOT +++ "
Yes, translated to something like that.

I guess. I don't know. I don't say to my wife of 5 years,"I love you forever" or "I never want to leave you." I know it is how I feel at this moment and I cannot imagine that feeling changing at all, but I understand that it can.

From time to time I do say things like, "You know I really love you." just out of the blue for no reason after I've just found myself thinking about how much I enjoy her company or looking back at how much we've been through good and bad. I believe that is where the romance is, not in the candle light dinners, giving of flowers that is truly romantic. It is those things we are conditioned by books, music, film to believe are the romantic moments. I find it is in the silent moments of simple things like riding commuting together, microwaving popcorn and watching a favorite show or movie. It is remembering the smallest detail like a favorite she mentioned in passing that you can accommodate in some way. Romantic is what you make it.

Watching some of these senior high school kids get on bended knee to ask someone to the prom seems retarded to me. It again in my opinion how we're molded via media to "top" another person's method. Thinking towards the future, if they don't do something like this to propose, then what?

How realistic is it to say,"I'll never love another..." and then that person dies? You've left yourself no ability to love anyone again. It's not like I'm suggesting leaving an "out" clause to leave the relationship, but in essence I am for the sake of giving yourself the permission to move on from situations.
