Reply #4: uhm, you don't use the word "love"

[Lexingtonian]

unless prodded/led into it. There is desire and there is love, and men and women regard and accentuate the distinctions between the two- and deal with the proofs of them offered- in remarkably different ways in early negotiations.

In any case, you better have a proper excuse for why this particular conversation, if you take or get it to that point, didn't take place three years ago- say, getting stranded alone on an island in the Arctic inhabited only by walruses for two years and eleven months and twentynine days before getting rescued.
