This is mostly in reference to the latest virus, I suppose, but it's also something I've noticed a lot on the community in general. Isn't there anyone here who doesn't refer to their significant other as "my love", or some variation of the phrase? Doesn't that seem to be... oh, I don't know, overkill? Not to mention overly flowery and sickeningly sweet.

I know at least some of you must agree with me.

Comments

I'm trying to prove that they can have a conversation without srnaking at each ..at least for a bit.

Overkill? Why? if you love him, you enjoy to tell him that and that person likes to know it.

Haha, let's see how long that lasts :P

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

"My love"? Really?

[sassygirlsrock.livejournal.com]

Really.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Right.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of pet names?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

They can be fun. And other times, it's just something you two share; it can even be an inside joke between the two of you.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

I don't use pet names.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Did you use them with Ty Lee?

Fff, trying to remember if she ever used them Zuko.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

No. Even if she is my girlfriend, I think they're stupid.

Why?

[pandorabox]

I don't call Aoko 'my love.' She calls me that sometimes, though!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised?

[pandorabox]

Because it's Aoko?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

How charming.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Quite the opposite, actually.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

For you, perhaps. However, I'm here to laugh at your expense.

[lolcrayons.livejournal.com]

I don't use names like that...do a lot of people do that?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[lolcrayons.livejournal.com]

I guess that's just how they express their feelings!

[mal-honnete.livejournal.com]

Agreeable, yes, but the concept of love varies for each person.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

As does the concept of idiocy, apparently.

[mal-honnete.livejournal.com]

They are a rare few.

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

Do you not find such things endearing?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... No.

[falselineage.livejournal.com]

That is good to hear.
