I’ve Decided To Quit Saying “I Love You.”
That’s right.
I’m going to quit saying it.
Instead, I’m going to replace it with: “You love me.”
Because, really, this is the message I am hoping to reinforce.
Obviously I’m not going to extend my love to someone if I’m not confident they feel the same way about me – that’s just common sense, right? Clearly.
So I figure by the time I decide that I love someone, they’ve long decided to love me and are probably just waiting for the right time to express such love for me.
If you think about it, I’m doing them a favor by breaking the ice.
It’s a pretty good plan. I’m going to roll with it.

I’m sorry, but who is it you actually do say “I Love You” to??

I’m sure this won’t backfire at all. Brilliant idea.
RUN WITH IT!!

Obviously this is genius. I can’t imagine why no one thought of it before now.

Are you talking about stalkerish “You love me” left on voice mail and scratched into the side of a car or just “Hey, look at that bird! You love me.” You know what? Nevermind, it’s all weird. But hey, good luck with that.

Love it!

This is a -brilliant- idea. Consider it stolen.

First time visitor. Love your blog! So I would be like Fresh Express in your world cause that’s what I do. I like the You Love Me thing. I think you should pitch it to Hallmark.

So will you do this in a random fashion…like out of the blue telling some hot waitress, “I’ll have the chef salad, and uh, you love me!” In hopes that she’ll think you’re quirky and give you a chance to feel her up later?
Or is this meant more as subliminal advertising, like while your new Miss Random is sleeping you whisper in her ear over and over, “you love me, you love me” and hope the idea sticks?
I’m trying to decide if this is a good idea, or just another weirdo dude maneuver.
