We need to talk (Revamped)

Random stuff: The "L" word & Kissing

In one thing I wrote about boys and stuff, I mentioned that my ex had pressured me into telling him that I love him. I wanted to talk about why I feel so strongly about saying the "L" word and why I regret saying it to him.
So, here's why I think the word "love" shouldn't just be thrown around. Your love is not something I think everyone deserves. You wouldn't go up to a random person and tell them you love them. Because you know that your love is for people you know.
But do you REALLY love the people you say you do? There are a few people in this world I'm positive I love, but I know for a fact that I didn't love my ex. I was in love with the idea of loving him.
I ask myself this question a lot: do I love my boyfriend now? The answer: no. I like him, a lot, but like is completely different than love. Love is when you would do and give absolutely anything to that person. I see quotes all the time that says "love is when you think about them all the time *insert cutesy picture of attractive people kissing*" but that's not love. I used to think about my ex nonstop when we were dating, but I didn't love him.
I believe you should save the word "love" for someone you are absolutely positive you love. Don't waste it. And I know, it's just a word. But it's a word with heavy meaning. If a racist person used a racist term, that carries heavy meaning, so why shouldn't love get a heavy meaning too?
And I know, I say I love you guys all the time. But that's different. I love you guys as a family, as my besties for the restie. But me telling a GUY, or anyone having feelings for, that's completely different. There's a difference between love for friends & family, and love for a partner.
Now, to kissing. I think people kiss too much. Sure, it's showing affection, but people seem to kiss in relationships more than they talk to each other.
I see kids in my MIDDLE SCHOOL making out! Kids younger than me! I've never held hands with a guy, let alone kissed one! But I have kissed a girl, and that was just because of spin the bottle, but it doesn't count.
I am a firm believer of saving your kisses for the absolute right person. My lips shall not touch someone else's until I know that's the right person.

Okay, if some of you guys say "I love you" to your significant other or partner or whatever, that's cool. It's just my opinion, and I'm not going to tell every guy I date that I love him. And if you guys kiss other people all the time, good for you but I'm not going to do it.
I "L" word you guys SO MUCH!
