It’s amazing how people can sound like retards when they’re talking to their girlfriend, especially if they really love her a lot. Because when you’re just fucking someone you make a point of keeping your cool, but when you’re really in love - it can sound pretty repulsive. The fact is that the people who are in love will always find some way to tell their loved ones how they feel about them. They will never fail to tell them what they want to hear, and you know why? Because they don’t want you to leave them! They will always say things like, "I love you", "I'm happy", "I'll always be here for you", "Together forever", etc.
