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 surpasses 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 pronounced "loy-vuh," with the "vuh" just like the "v" in "love." Simply replace the "lo" with a "loy" and you're set.

Get the loive mug.The reverse of a strap on dildo. Turns the wearer from pitcher to catcher.
The strap part is basically the same however instead of a dildo being attached, a raw piece of liver is coiled and affixed to a holster on the belt. A guy then approaches the wearer of such device and proceeds to fuck the coiled liver. Ideally the liver is first warmed to body temperature and lubricated, possibly with k-y but vegetable oil will work just fine. Can also affix the liver belt to a chair whereby the dude can beat off into it (much less gay).
If you are like Portnoy, you return the liver to the refrigerator for dinner later.

Get the They won't let me live ... mug.The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again — The psychological truth that “once is a habit”.
A drug addict can easily tell you this. “Once” can become is a habit!
And, The Ghost of the Past Always Want to Live Again.
People seldom apply this principle to psychology and our addictions to particular: habits and people. It’s difficult leave: relationships; jobs; emotional habits; bouts of depression; and situations.
The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again and reassert themselves.
A failed New Years Resolution is another example of this.
There are also pop cultural references to this “haunting” aspect of human nature.
Curtis “50 Cents” James Jackson says:
…I got the magic stick
I know if I can hit once, I can hit twice
I hit the baddest chicks
Shorty, don't believe me, then come with me tonight
And I'll show you magic (What? What?)
Magic
I got the magic stick…
The idea being that though it may be hard to “open a door” it’s almost impossible to “close it”.
On a Whiter note, The Indigo Girls sing:
…And there's not enough room
In this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
And time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost…
People say in a self-comforting way that there are ghosts; but, I say: we are all haunted by our habits from which our total character is derived; and, that The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again and Again and Again.
Boo!

Best Friend:
Maaaaaaaaaaan, delete that phone number, block your text and e-mail, and make all of your social media private right now if you really want to break up with her.
Idiot not about to listen to good advice:
Why, I gotta do all that!!!!?????
Best friend patiently like he’s talking to a two year old:
The Ghost of the Past Want to Live Again — believe me, I know because I’ve been there. I also know that you won’t listen — because I didn’t, either.
