Which is better hear the magic words or M.U.?, Flong asked.
I could not say my opinion was okay as Ellen and Bing were against it. Perhaps it is true that our individual views vary with our experiences.
It is fun to hear those magic words yet love is tested through time. "I love you" during courtship is premature. We love the person (I mean romantic love) because there is something about the person that satisfies us. I may sound nega here but romantic love is selfish until it is proven. Unless we are sure of ourselves that we accept the person for who he is and that we can grow old with or die for the person no matter how he may become, "I love you" is true.
