BigBear,

I've often wondered that, too. And while I admit I don't do it everytime, I do try to often say something other than the standard, "I love you!" or, "I love you, too!" I try to expand on it a little bit so it doesn't become habit and lose it's meaning. I'll say something like, "I love you so much! I'm glad you are part of my life!" or in response to her saying it first, I'll respond with, "I love you also, Alicia!". I try not to say I love you, too. She said in her last relationship, she started to think her name was "TOO".
