Hmm actually mate, I think you're right.
The constant "I WUV JOO!" among preppy teenage fucks pisses me off so much, but i'm in my teens, and me and my girlfriend do genuinely feel that we are in love, she admitted to me a while ago and my immediate reaction was shock, she actually broke down in tears about it, but. I think i've grown to love her myself, and we do tell each other it when we leave each other or end a convo for the night.
It feels like a genuine connection, probably one of the only girls i've ever really felt true feelings for.
