Loive

loive is a nebulous word. it’s a rather interesting cross between like and love, and was created because of the large gap between like and love. after all, quite a few relationships develop slowly, and once one surp-sses the realm of like, it is naturally inhibitory to continue to use the same word to describe a deeper feeling.

take, for example, the word “thanks.” if your best friend gave you a card for your birthday, you’d most likely say “thanks.” however, if a complete stranger volunteered to donate a kidney so that you could live properly without a dialysis machine and did not expect any remuneration, “thanks” would be quite inappropriate.

loive is similarly oriented with “like” and “love.” when a relationship has progressed beyond merely “like,” yet has not reached the comfortably stable level of “love,” “loive” serves as a safe and appropriate alternative. many people are hesitant to use “love” in a casual setting, simply because it has so many deep and serious connotations. true, someone may say “i love you,” but he/she may only mean “i care about you quite a bit.” however, a married couple may say “i love you” and mean, “i am eternally bonded with you, and am willing to give my life so that you may live. i am prepared to spend the rest of my life at your side, and i hope you are, too.”

given these widely differing connotations, the use of the word “loive” is quite necessary to avoid unflattering misconceptions.

note: “loive” is pr-nounced “loy-vuh,” with the “vuh” just like the “v” in “love.” simply replace the “lo” with a “loy” and you’re set.
