My friends and I had a funny joke we overused back when we were teenagers. Every time we got into some kind of romantic relationship, we'd say something like this to the girl we were dating: "Do you love me? Do you really love me?"
Some of these significant others would crack a smile, while others would allow a look of seriousness to wash across their face — until me closed with, "Cuz if you really love me, baby, please, please don't make no damn Alfredo!"
