  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We're in an LDR, so we only get to talk once a day. But we tend to say it every tenth sentence when we do. ^_^
That's how me and my bf are too :D

Just completely random "I love you's" will pop up all the time. When we get into silly tease arguements, he'll get confused and resorts to "I love you"......If he says something sweet "I love you", lol it's kind of funny, I think our convo's would make people sick ^_^

oh boy, alllll the time! We say it all the time. We like to say it over and over, "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you," like the girl in Dan in Real Life. We think it's funny and cute

About fifteen or twenty...sometimes more. Always randomly. I refuse to say "I love you" when leaving the house or getting off the phone, etc, because I feel that diminishes the phrase to a simple greeting...next thing you know, it's "luv ya" and it loses all meaning.

Maybe twice a day that I say it, and Jordan only says it of his own accord once in awhile. He always says it in a -very- random way and often tells me "I may not say it as much as you, but when I surprise you with it, I know it packs a punch" haha :D

We told each other from the beginning that we did not want the words "I love you" to get over-used. I hate when people over-use "I love you" and they end every freakin sentence with it. I've been in too many relationships where the words became routine.

Jordan's step-brother recently ended a relationship with a girl he had been dating for over a year. When she asked "I thought you loved me?" he had to tell her "I guess I just said it out of habbit." That's a shame and it happens so much.

If your partner doesn't know that you love them without saying it 50 times a day, there's a problem. There's more ways than words to communicate love.

Well I don't see a problem with saying "I love you" repeatedly. It's just a different relationship dynamic, I tell my fiancee, I love her, very very often. Alot of it is because I'm so far away, and because that gives it a new kind of meaning. I think that one should not be so quick to critique something that is more of a matter of personal dynamics each couple is going to interact differently I don't say I love you as a habit, I say it because I am so bursting out the seams with that if I didn't say it I fear I'd explode, yes I know that this is the early signs of love, but it's been nearly eight months now and it has not subsided. So maybe it's just a matter of different people having differen't types of relationships.

I think it's also the fact that we can't be physically around one another. I mean, aside from actually telling each other, the ways in which we can demonstrate our affection are limited.

Even emoticons are limited!

It has not been said yet...and I hope once it is it doesn't become a routine thing unless we get married and tell each other every day.


I think it's more important to say it through actions then with words. Being patient with each other, showing kindess, putting the other before yourself, making sacrifices, etc. I have a problem with words sometimes...they don't always match up with actions. (When they do, that's special too but words are really just the icing on top of the cake-and no one wants to eat a mouthful of icing! The cake is the warm baked part that takes the effort to make.)

We say it a lot. I don't think we say it nearly as much when we're together...no need. It's...really obvious. lol. Whenever we're together, I don't think there's many times we don't have some kind of physical contact. When you haven't seen each other for months, you really can't help it yknow...:sorry:

I certainly know the feeling of both. If you take a look at some pics I have of my fiance and I you will definitely see that we can't avoid touching whenever we're together. It's our primary love language... but since we're together once maybe twice a year we have other ways to go about it.

Heck, we even make cat noises sometimes and know exactly what we mean by each noise and can properly respond. :D
