i don't know really. sure there are times when saying those 3 words will have a inpact on the person your saying it too. but nowdays with some many ppl hooking up and breaking up. those 3 words have started to lose there important meaning. used to be you only said that to the one person you cared deeply for. but nowdays it said so many different times for so many different reasons wither it be spur of the moment or just to get someone embarresed, ect. it also seems ppl say them just to say them with no real feeling behind it. yea it can mean differnt things depending on the situation. but thats the reason why it has lost its real meaning. you can love somebody but not as much as yuo loved the one before or vice verse. in the end just like most ppl posted, action speak louder then words.  |

i agree with gelkiller666 it has lost its real meaning right now... that's why whenever someone said it even my gf... it's hard to believe if she is saying the truth or just for making me embarrassed.

I've been with my girlfriend for a year and 6 months and I have never heard her say those three words to me. I know she does and I can feel her love resonate from her when we are together, but sometimes. I just want to hear her say it. tell me that she loves me. it depends on the individual I suppose.

Both yes and no. Just like many of the ones who replied to this thread, it depend on the individual and to the person s/he would be saying it. Just like what they do in romantic anime, they say 'I Love You' to confess their feelings; well, that's anime though, not real life. You need to say 143 to your mother, father, sisters and brothers(if you have any), niece, pets, grandfather, grandmother, and to your other relatives. You may say 143 to your friends, teachers, classmates, enemies(because of the saying 'love your enemy as you love yourself'), rivals, insects, animals, and to many others, but you cannot say it time by time, minute by minute. You can say 143 to your friend, even if it is your own sex, but it is no good if you say it with romantic feelings towards him/her. You may even say 143 at an opposite sex. Why not? If s/he's your friend---why? Don't you love your friend? Well, like I said earlier, it's no good if you'll say it with romantic feelings(not if you're ready for it and you know you had done everything enough to win his/her heart). And just like what the others who had posted in this thread is saying, people have their own way of expressing their love, so it is not necessarily needed to say 'I Love You'. Well, if it is your way of expressing your love, then you should do so. 'I Love You' really is a strong word; we shouldn't take it lightly. It can change one individual. "Action speaks louder than words." Yes, that's correct. But words are also powerful, so if you really want to express your true love to a person, have it with action and words, to make it so powerful. ^^ |

well basically yes, but it's more suitable to say I love you in front of the person you love instead of saying it several times without really meaning to it. I'd rather not to hear a person say "I love you" just to shut me up, to calm me down, to not rant, etc etc but to say it because you mean it. I'm the type of person to say I love you just because I just want to say it, I want to say it because I want the person I love to know that. I don't usually say I love you to my parents either since my parents are not that wordy type (guess where I inherit it lol) but they secretly like it if I said it sometimes. :) |

For me, and I've posted here before but I had a realization, it is really easy to say I love you. I've been dating my boyfriend for a month and I just casually let the words slip the other day without having said them before. My guy and all our friends that eat lunch with us, male too, gasped and started making a HUGE fuss over it. For me it is just a way of saying how much I appreciate that person being in my life. To know when I'm saying "I love you" in a romantic way, or in a friendship kind of way is easy to tell from the mood. Of course I say it all the time to my parents and my brother, and my best friend because she is like my sister...   |

I love you can comfirm your feelings for someone or show you appreicate a person maybe. As said below 'Actions speak louder than words' and some actions can say I love you themselves and do the above, such as spending time with them, hugs, snuggles, kisses, and other sorts of affections. However, it can depend on the type of love. But hearing those three little words can be very nice and warming.  |

Saying those words doesn't necessarily mean it. Hell, a lot of things you can say and not mean it, it's just that insignificant. Then again, it can change someone's mindset so much... Actions != words  |

Depends. Throwing around "I love you" is similar to when you say "I'm sorry" too much, it loses meaning and people probably won't believe you when you say it. On the other hand, I doubt many of us are secure enough with ourselves to the point that we don't need reassurance from our "significant other" that they do love us. Sure actions speak louder than words, but so does silence. You can hug, cuddle, kiss, spoon, and have sxx all you want, but when you don't hear those "special" words, it kind of makes you curious if that other person does love you or not.

As replied before, in a romantic way, i would only say it out of the blue, as in to reassure my partner of my feelings. and i prefer the backing of actions with words. plus there is the fact that in portuguese, even if you really like a friend, we use "adoro-te" instead of "amo-te", which = the romantic feeling, that one is for lover only, well and family as well.

No! We do not need to say "I love you"! I find that I cannot openly say that I love someone I have strong feelings for--be it family, friends, a significant other, etc. I strongly believe this is because there's something superficial about that phrase. This is because anyone can openly say that phrase to anyone else. So, in a sense, just because someone tells me--or I tell someone else--"I love you" does not mean that it is a totally honest remark. Often times people throw phrases around the justify feelings that they don't completely understand themselves. And I, personally, do not want to come out superficial to whomever I love. I feel like in all situations in which there is a sense of love for someone else, people efficiently exhibit their love through body language and people can pick up on...uh...physiognomy? The manner in which a person says something itself is more honest than the words people let out of their mouths. |

no...i personally believe there are some things that cant be expressed in words, and love is one of those things. so many people throw the word "love" around to the point it has lost it's meaning. so to me the only way "love" can truly be said is without the word. so if u truly love someone don't say but show. |

Still, it feels good when your significant other, parents, or siblings tell you that they love you. It's just comforting. |

I personally can't say "I love you" meaningfully. I think it's because it should be apparent that I love a person. When i see people use it so easily it sort of makes me question whether they really mean it. But i don't know, coming from someone who has little to no experience in love it doesn't sound too meaningful. Too me it would take alot of feelings and force for me to say it. I feel like I would only say it when I need to, or those rare moments of emotional burst.

I personally don't need to hear this word from my beloved or the one i have strong feelings.. But generally people feel precariousness to each other so they need to hear this.. But for me it's not that easy.. Love is something really deep and i really need to feel it for saying something like that.. |

Not really necessary to say those words. You can just show your love and appreciation with other methods.
