What's your take on the L-word?  Say you've been seeing this guy and he hasn't said "I love you" but he's started calling you "love" or he slips it in some other way.  Call him out on it?  Play it his way?  Let it go?

I had to read this twice before I realized you weren't talking about the TV show.

And I think it completely depends on the relationship and the situation in which it is said.

There was a TV show?

One of my friends, not Ed, has been involved with this guy for months now and she's known him even longer.

You've never heard of The L Word? I mean, it's probably a good thing. The show was terrible and their portrayal of bisexuality disgusting, but I thought everyone had heard of it.

Again, it all depends on their relationship and the situation. If I've learned anything about that word, it's that not only does it change from person to person and situation to situation, it can change with the person you're in love with depending on the day. Trying to pick it apart for anyone else doesn't work very well.

Nope, but then, I've never had time for TV.

Yeah, that's a good point.

The cashier at the hospital calls everyone love. Man, woman, child... it means nothing.

One of the OR couriers, however, calls me by my name. He calls everyone else silly pet names, but I notice that I'm the only one who makes him blush.

My point is, I agree with Gina. But if you want an answer, call him out. Do it in a joking way. Or spin it back on him and see what his reaction is.

That's the thing, though, he didn't used to call her love and She says now he only does it when they're alone. There's an intimate connection between them so it isn't like he's some throwaway stranger.

I dunno. I mean, I agree with you guys, but also, I grew up in a family that guarded words like that.

I guess what really matters is...did he?

[heart_andbullet]

Oh. That's a really good question. I don't know.

I'm not even gonna lie, when I read "l-word", I was not thinking of love...
