Congratulations on finding such a great guy! I wouldn’t worry about what the “love ya” meant…it will develop in time. I have a pretty checkered past too and what I realize now is that you have to take each moment as it happens and just enjoy it.

Well, it’s official. I have met the boyfriend and he seems really genuinely nice…and I have never liked any of her boyfriends…EVER!

I guess I better start shopping for shower gifts. Teeheehee!!! 😃

Looks like someone got out of the hospital with their sense of humor completely intact!

Glad you’re doing better **PB**!

Jay Leno said yesterday that a man says ‘I love you’ to a woman in order to have sex with her & a woman says ‘I love you’ to a guy to get rid of him.

Lots of young women & teenagers say ‘luv ya’ very early in relationships to mean ‘I like you’.

What piqued my interest is how people can only go with kissing.
