"I love you forever."

A couple of days ago, I had a little talk with my sister which ended up in an argument about love and what not. She thought, and is still stand by her belief, that saying "I love you forever" to a boyfriend is the right thing to do. For me, however, it is not. I don't know about you, but isn't it scary to tell someone that you're not married, or even engaged, to those particular words? For all I know, the term of boyfriend/girlfriend means a best friend whom we have feelings for each other, getting to know them more deeper, learn their deepest secrets, share yours, see where things go and if we're lucky/committed enough, will end up being married with each other AND THEN say those little 4 words when that finally happens.

I mean, I'm all for the I love you's, but with the word "forever" in the end of those words when I don't know if I want to spend the rest of my life with anyone yet... I don't think I'd be there before I get engaged. :-p
