"i love you"

[_butterfly_eyes]

why is it that we say "i love you" with so much ease to family members? even the ones we dont know so well, or never see. why is it so hard to find another person to whom you can say "i love you" to? why cant i even find some on to say "i think i like you" to? or have them say it back? or even feel it? why does this feel so wrong when really there

we have a bond with family that can never be broken, a relation thats just there and given, so i guess love is a given or said to be given because of genes and upbringing
its hard to find another to say "i love you" or "i think i like you" because its hard to open up, have the other person open up, be at the right time and place...and its hard to stay happy and keep faith that it will eventually happen and come when it isn't the case now
...thats what i can answer for now...

Because you are actually referring to two subsets of human emotions. Both fall under the category of interpersonal love but the one is kindred while the other is sexual. Freudian psychologists would argue that the two are fundamentally linked...but then again Freud was a pervert. There is nothing mysterious about ones ability to express love to a family member more easily than a non-family member after considering the ease with which one might state, "i loved that movie". This is an example of a sub-category of "impersonal love". Impersonal love is love which does not occur between two persons but between a person and an idea/concept/object. If sexual love is affiliated with such inanimate objects, the person who exhibits this love is considered to be a paraphilliac.
