Does this sound odd?
Category: Emotions, Rants
Consider this situation between two people/friends:
Boy: I love you
Girl: …
Boy: I love you
Boy: and it drives me crazy
Girl: *speechless*
Boy: I don’t even know why I love you
Boy: I don’t even know if it’s love
Girl: *thoroughly confused now*
Let’s disregard whether or not the girl likes him back. And look at it from an outsider’s perspective.
Isn’t a bit disappointing and even a bit insulting to have a boy claim that he loves you and yet cannot state a reason why? Isn’t it odd, or is it just me? I’m not saying he should always have a reason, but wouldn’t it further add to the romance of the situation if he said something like “because you’re you” or something equally cliched and disgustingly lovey-dovey?
But then he’d be lying if he didn’t mean it.
Of course, there’s the way it was said too. As if there couldn’t have been a reason for him falling in love with you, like you were deficient in something. Or as if he was settling for less. If he loves her, shouldn’t he be able to at least give a reason why?
Now if that doesn’t throw the romance out of the declaration, I don’t know what does.
… Or am I taking it too far?


Perhaps he doesn’t know why he loves her yet. His heart knows, but he doesn’t. Feelings come with time, if the girl gives it some more time, wait until he realizes the reason behind his feelings.
