It’s the greyro dilemma: Do I not experience love, or is it just that love feels very nearly like nothing to me? It’s not that I don’t know the answer, it’s that I know both answers are true, they’re two narratives describing the same set of facts. It’s not that important to me, because whether I’m in love is forever indeterminate. Myself, I cannot remember when I first said “I love you” it to my husband, and I cannot remember whether I said it in any of my previous relationships. Some articles feature multiple interviews with ordinary people, and most everyone emphasizes its importance, and has specific recollections of when they said it. One thing that the articles unanimously agree on, is that saying “I love you” for the first time is extremely important. I trudged through these sickening articles so you don’t have to. That’s just fiction though, right? As one writer put it, “You might even say that these climactic speeches are the whole point of a romantic comedy.” But if you ever search “when to say I love you”, you will find an endless stream of self-appointed experts advising you on your very own romantic comedy moment. My understanding of the romantic comedy is that it always ends with a woman getting on a plane to leave forever, and a man desperately chasing after it on the runway, until he finally says, “I love you!” Once he utters those words, everyone on the plane realizes this is a Big Deal, and they demand the pilot stop, which he does. The visual metaphor is unique, but perhaps you’ve noticed that lots of movies and fiction treat the word “love” as a complete showstopper. The word “LOVE” gets spelled out in pink clouds coming out of her mouth, and Scott has to brush them away (animated gif below the fold).

There’s a scene in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs the World where Knives says to Scott, “I’m… I’m in… LOVE”. This article was written for the Carnival of Aros, this month themed on “Love”.
