"I Love You" seems to be the New Coupon Code for Free Sex?

Who the fuck is says "I love you" after a week?

​

Not a week of dating. Not a week of living together. Not even a week of actually knowing each other.

A week of talking.

​

I have been very clear from day one with everyone, this is anl arrangement. I am not selling a fairytale, a soulmate package, or a lifetime subscription. Yet somehow, one guy "loved" me after a little over a week of chatting. Another guy came to my city, met me once, and suddenly he's in love too.

Love? Really?

​

You don't know how I act when I am angry. You don't know my weird habits. You don't know how I take my tea or coffee. You don't even know my surname. I talk about wanting respect, consistency, being pampered, and being treated well. Apparently that's enough for some men to start planning our emotional future together.

​

Maybe they genuinely caught feelings. Maybe it's a tactic to speed run intimacy and get a free fuck. I honestly don't know.

​

What I do know is that it freaks me out.

The moment I said, "No, this isn't love," both of them got upset. Which only made me question it more.

Maybe I am cynical, but if you can say "I love you" to someone you've barely known, then what does that phrase even mean anymore?

​

I'm not flattered. I'm concerned.

​

I know I am getting old, but "I love you" used to mean something. Now it feels like people are handing it out like free samples at a supermarket.

​

If you love me after a week, you don't love me.

You love a fantasy version of me that exists entirely in your head. And honestly? That's scary AF. 🙈
