Yeah, I stole the title from an ad on TV. So sue me.

Who do you love in 2024?

How’s your love life?

I love. I love big. It’s kinda creepy how much.  
I’m clingy and needy about it. But I’m generous and nice.

(Zo)

Be mine, all you Dopers. ❤

Love you too.

My veggie/fruit smoothie, not so much.

I know I’m a cynic, but love has never really brought much more than obligations to me. Not the most welcome obligations either.

I love my GF. To quote Peter Griffin “It’s not just the sweet rack or the hot caboose. It’s that big, sexy brain.” We will be physically separated on Valentine’s day. But we will virtually do a cryptic crossword together.

My love life is fabulous! I’m madly in love with the most wonderful man, and having him in my life is just amazing! But, before I make everyone hurl by describing how awesome he is, and how happy he makes me…

I also love all my fellow Dopers, my family and friends, and my two precious pups.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day! 💝

Happy Valentine’s Day, all! I’m blessed to be married to my best friend, and to have someone who loves me. I almost lost my wife in November, and am so thankful that she’s still here with us. With me.

I hope everyone has love in their lives, in whatever form it may be.

**Beck** , being the loving person that she is, loves cats **and** dogs (unlike me – see avatar)!

Speaking of avatars, your new one is fine, but I’m gonna miss the famous cat with no fucks left to give! 😁

He was an awesome cat and I hope hes living the life of luxury now. I wanted to represent. How often do avatars depict you accurately?

That’s beautiful, not creepy! ❤

Yeah, I’m a lover, too. I fall in love with people, places, and even things. I have this old dining room table and chairs that I’ve finally decided to get rid of. I still haven’t done it yet. Every day I come home from work, there it sits, looking at me with sad eyes. 😳

Wow. That’s really impressive. I’ve only been married 18 years and feel like I won the lottery.
