my father never said he loved me until i was 16 years old. at least he said it, and now he says it regularly.

Lucky you!

the problem with the cypriots is that not only have they not learned to say i love you, but they themselves were never told from their parent that they love them, also its like a macho thing with the cypriots as if one becomes a sissy or one becomes weak the truth of the matter is its alctualy takes strenth to say i love you its the caresteristic of the strong not the weak to say i love you.

thats why maybe 400 people have looked at this thread and very few have said i love on the human level,

Free-cyprus, I understand what you are saying but is not always the case you know. Men in Cyprus have changed, they are less macho than they were in old times and they say I love you more easily. Some say i love you every min...like your self (and some of them do not mean it really) and some others once a year or never. By the way i do not think that is only a Cypriot thing.

As for the number of people who saw this thread and did not reply... well have you ever thought that many of those times were you and me reading the posts I already expressed my self on the matter of love and how easily or meaningless/-full it is for some people so i will stay back with that for a while.

it's not just a cypriot thing. i think there is a fear of saying it, period.

[quote="Eliko"]In defence of those who are somewhat reluctant to actually say the words "I Love You" ( particularly if they feel that such an expression should be kept private) may I say that, in my opinion, it in no way indicates that they are incapable of 'feeling' love.

Demonstration is often far superior to the spoken word, a couple may have the deepest feelings for each other and yet seldom speak of them.

A person may have a great love of humanity and keep their own counsel on it, until it becomes necessary to perform some constructive act which reveals their true feelings.

Observing the actions of people is a far better way of assessing their emotions than listening to their words.

A deceitful person will use the words "I Love You" to gain an advantage, a true 'Lover' will not.

A man once declared that he was not particularly prejudiced against ANY race, "I just HATE everybody" he said, he must have been unhappy, certainly he was truthful.

If one adopts the opposite view "I just LOVE everybody", surely that would be an impossible state of mind to achieve since there are some horrible bastards at loose on the face of the earth.

Balance is the basis of true love, you may 'Love your Enemies' (that is not too hard to do), you may 'Do unto others what you would that they should do unto you' (that is not hard to do), to 'Love everybody' is not an option for even the most considerate of us on account of the reason above.

As for 'Family Love', one KNOWS of it, it is not necessary to be constantly reminded since the word itself will be weakened by it's repetitive use.

Having said all that, I would like to add that I have a great love of humanity, my patience has often been stretched to the limit but has not altered my perceptions.

God Bless you ALL ( except as aforementioned). [/quote


there is nothing that an open mind cannot achieve in life, to say i love is the most powerful words in the world.

to say i forgive you is the second most powerful words in the world,,,,,,, and if you doubt me try them out put them to the test

[GorillaGal]

yeah, well it's not working in my side of the world. i have a friend that is angry over the stupidest little thing (my hair color), and i have tried apologizing and telling her i love her, and she still won't talk to me.

but i wanted to tell everyone in this forum that i love them

even though some of them make me mad with the rubbish they post regarding cyprus, but i have the confidence to forgive them to, and i have the confidence to say i love you to them.

then your friend has serious problems

[free_cyprus]

Let me see if i can get this right:
i once heard that a man will say "i love you" to get sex, while a woman will give sex in order to be loved.

shame isn't it?

If we go by stereotypes,then a woman will say "I love you" to get a diamond ring,for example...

I have known men too who gave sex in order to be loved ...
The lesson I have learned is this...You cannot plan for love...All love that is planned are false love...Love is something that happens to you when you are least expecting it...And when it is true love you feel it in every cell in your body...not only in private parts...

men have never had the power in the history of men kind its the woman who has the power, men are just work horses providers, and builders and distroyers of cities.............. real power is always with the woman

Free-cyprus, is your right to feel that way and want to say that you love them, but respect that they might not feel the way you feel. Also, when you say "I love you" do not expect the same reaction back. As Eliko said (if I am not wrong) the love thing is not something you plan, and for sure is not something that you always express with words.

But hey I do respect you

yes, i think she does. i mean, WHY would my hair color affect her?
