I caught a few minutes of some TV show, I don't even remember what it was, but the guy was leaving and she says "I love you" and he turns around and says "I love you more" and they both smile and kiss and apparently it was the correct response.
And it reminded me of a time I saw a similar conversation where a mom was putting her kid to bed, and he says "I love you, Mommy" and she gives him this warm smile and says "Not half as much as I love you!"
And I'm thinking "What is it, a contest?" Someone says they love you, and you reply by claiming to love them more? You're actually slamming them by claiming that they don't love you as much as you love them, and that's just so gooey sweet that it's the correct answer?
Like that song that goes "I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow."
I can just imagine some girl complaining "Oh, so you admit that you don't love me as much as you can, right now? You'll love me more tomorrow? Why can't you love me more today? You're not trying hard enough! I want you to love me more right now! You don't love me enough!"
Anyway, it just all seems kinda dumb to me.

^^First thing that entered my mind as well. :lol
-
My ex pulled that with me sometimes. "Oh you did X or Y that I didn't like, therefore I love you more than you!".
Needless to say, it's bullshit.
-
My ex and I agreed to never say that and just establish that we loved each other equally.
Obviously it didn't turn out that way in the end, but that's the way it goes.

I love you, Orbert :hearts:
-
Love... is an act of blood.
-
Orbert, have you seen the AndyDT thread about this? :lol
-
But...I don't love you at all?

Conversation I regularly had with the girl behind me in jr. high algebra...
Her: I hate you.
Me: I hate you most.
Her: I hate you more.
Me. You can't.
-
I love you, Orbert :hearts:
I love you less. Sorry. :xbones
-
Prick.

Let me guess, you ended up fucking her.

No, but I'm sure there is one.

ahh, that brings back memories of middle school show choir. I was always partnered with this one girl who HATED me. She'd always tell me I was messing up after a quick practice and even spat in my face once. I think she had the hots for me. She was cute hehe
-
You should've spat on her meat curtains and curled her toes.

It's not a contest. The "I love you more" thing can be cute, yes, but it shouldn't ever be a serious competition.
Or if anything, not something argued over.

Bullshit. If you don't hire someone in an old-timey biplane to fly over your lover's house while towing a banner with a romantic message on it, you clearly have no feelings for them.

Oh my God, I take back everything I said, this is SO true.
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW YOU LOVE SOMEONE

It isn't true love until there's a musical number involved.

Wow. That is incalculably awesome and funny :hefdaddy

I wrote a song for my girlfriend (later fiance and eventually wife) which I thought totally sucked. I've written like five songs in my entire life, and they've all sucked. I finished playing/singing it for her, I looked and she was in tears. Yeah, it was that bad.
But seriously, she loved it, that's why she was crying (I think). A guy writing a song proclaiming his love for his woman is one of the most ancient expressions of love known to man. I didn't even do it to impress her; I just had a chord progression stuck in my head and had to do something with it.

That
Is
Beautiful
Seriously. I can't agree more.
-
Okay, I admit I figured she'd be impressed by it. Not that the song was awesome, but that someone would write a love song for her. I'm pretty sure no one had ever done that before, and presumably no one has since, either. Someday I should try to write a better one. I'm a better musician now, but I still pretty much suck at songwriting.

Best response ever is still "I know".

Excellent response, that was.
