Like Crystal said, using a label to qualify the nature of a relationship can help ensure that an accurate perception is conveyed in conversation. What I'm not in favor of are labels being used as a stamp of ownership. "He's my man!" "She's my woman!" noway How about he/she is my partner? Or "someone special" like Peggy's friend characterized it.

Saying I love you to a special someone, I think, is just as important to most as proving it through actions. Verbally declaring love for someone doesn't have to mean till death do us part to be meaningful.



Aaaahh.... but what is an accurate perception? Two people could have very different ideas of what a particular label means or even what I love you means


Point taken. Communicating through language will always be open to individual subjective honesty and interpretation. That also includes characterizations like "someone special" though. What's of most importance is the intent, perception, and acceptance by the members of the relationship.

That is until we can communicate mind to mind. scared


I totally agree! :smile:
