Someone says, "I love you." Do you know when they really mean it?

Better still, add to the equation, the truth of the matter, that feelings are subject to whims and change, and at one moment in time, I may mean it when I say "I Love you" to someone, or someone may mean it when they say it to me, but later on, feelings change... Then what... Not to mention there is the problem, of defining what one really means when they say "I Love you" in the first place.

Indeed. Sorry I didn't have more to add. Fact is, that after answering a lot more in depth on the same topic on another thread, I'm kind of without inspiration--without the right words... Afterall, if we human beings had this Love thing figured out, much of our literature, movies, plays, operas, sonnets, sitcoms, poems, novels, propaganda, media, medical issues, social stigmas and issues, etc., would all simply cease to be.

Interesting way to look at it, I never thought about it that way. Very interesting. Thanks and take care.

Yes, it is very difficult when you figure all that into it, isn't it? Thanks and take care.

I always look at how they act, are their words and actions the same?

True, some people act one way and say another. But I've met some really good actors for a period of time who matched their actions with their words for the short hall, but the couldn't sustain it very long. Thanks

That is true, an actor can pull off a loving attitude, but that is where time comes in and why someone jumping into a marriage without knowing the person for a while is taking a risk..

i think i can feel it when they say it.Just look into their eyes when they say those 3 words.judge by your heart,and it will tell you if its real.And if you think at that moment,its true...just believe in it and never hesitate your judgment.That's my way.

I feel the same way. If it's a long time coming, it's probably more truthful. Thanks and take care.

Well, you can always tell when people are lying from their eyes. Besides, sometimes people just change and they just run out of love for someone, it doesn't mean that it's a lie when they say that particular phrase.

Most people, you can tell from their eyes, but some really, really practiced liars, you can't.
True, people's feelings change over time. Thanks and take care.

Yeah,that's true .action is really important when it comes to judge the person's words.However,I we can't ignore the feelings of ourselves..Sometimes our feelings can provide something for us and this kind of thing is somewhat mysterious but they do exist and command our actions

I think I understood what you said, but I'm not a 100 % sure.
