If love is blind, then how is it possible to fall in love at first sight? Should the expression be "Love at first sense" or something like that?
Some of the terms we use for a relationship are kind of odd. Common phrases or expressions sound more like a trip to a hospital than adoration.
Everyone meets someone in their during their life that they admire from afar. We use the term "A Crush" to describe these feelings for someone. It’s sort of an appropriate description, since usually it doesn’t go any further than just marvel from a distance.
You go out somewhere and in order to meet you, someone has to "Hit On You". If things are going well you might "Hook Up’.
When you start to like someone more and more you become "Mad About Them" or you "Fall For Them", even possibly "Fall Head Over Heels" for them. They just might "Sweep You Off Your Feet". Be careful not to end up in traction.
You get in a relationship with them and become their "Main Squeeze". Doesn’t sound very comfortable.
Eventurally it’s time to "Get Hitched" or you "Tie the Knot". Why don’t we just use "Bound and Gagged"?
Valentine’s Day the most romantic holiday during the year. The spokesperson for it is a little guy in a diaper trying to shoot an arrow thru your heart.
When things turn sour they "Break Your Heart" and you have to "Break Up".
I realize all these are just expressions. And the best way to describe love is to make it into a more physical manifestation and pain can be such an intense sensation it seems like a perfect metaphor. But seriously if I told you, "I had a crush on this girl who I finally hit on. She fell for me and became my main squeeze until we decided not to tie the knot and broke up." You would think I was involved not in a relationship, but a struggle for my life. But "All’s Fair in Love and War".
If you can think of anymore odd phrases I forgot to mention please let me know.
