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!!! 
Thanks!
Zenster, that made me really :).
Angkins, I’m very glad to hear that.
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.
