| Topic: I love you | |

I had a discussion (with a now ex friend) about 2 years ago about this.
She said she never says (in reply) "I love you too" because it's not sincere. She replies with "I love you" Does anyone else think the "too" part is not sincere? BTW: I LOVE YOU TOO

Is saying "I love you too" insincere?

Sometimes I'd say "me to you" especially if people were around and I couldn't say it..

It could be seen as insincere if you think they're only doing it reflexively. I would say "I love you regardless of whatever it was you just said." Romantic, huh? |

I had an ex that said that all the time.
but telling someone they love them also????

That depends on whether or not you really mean it. Same goes for just 'I love you'. It's meaning has to come from the heart. Obviously if you sound like a zombie when you say it someone is going to feel like you are just saying it. The best way to approach it, IMO, would be to stop, look at them, and tell them that you love them. Then they know you are really focused on them!

I get the "meaning" that needs to be behind it. But even if said sincerely....why would the word too be insincere?

I get the "meaning" that needs to be behind it. But even if said sincerely....why would the word too be insincere? Because "I love you similarly" is awkward? I dunno. I know there are more WRONG responses than right ones. For example: "I love you." "Really? What does your sister think of me?" This does NOT WORK (usually). Or: "I love you." "I would love you too, if you were someone else." Also does NOT WORK. |

Tones of voice and actions are what shows insincerity (and sincerity for that matter). I'm saying that the word causing this is a complete myth. I feel sorry for too. Someone is lying about the poor little three lettered critter! |

well my argument was that it's the meaning behind it and not the words. Sort of like "it's the thought that counts"
She got mad at me for arguing so I told her "I love you too"

As Han Solo was about to be dipped into the carbonite freezing chamber in the Empire Strikes Back. Princess Leia told Han, "I love you." Han replied back, "I know." Great response.

I usually just say yeah thanks... is that too insincere?
Really though, no I don't think it's insincere at all. Now if that's the ONLY thing you EVER say... well that's a whole different matter. |

Sometimes I'd say "me to you" especially if people were around and I couldn't say it.. Why can't you say I Love You? Or rather, what kind of situation were you in? |

Within my friends,,its ALWAYS cool in ANY form,,
Now as a lover,,its seen a bit to nun-sha-lunt, to me also. Those three words mean a LOT to me,,and they feel great to hear,,yet hurt so, when they disappear! But its like that one older song YOU don't have to SAY you love-me,cause I'd already know,,,,wink. I am a REAL believer in ACTIONS over this nonchalant way of PASSING those three words..

I've got a couple of gal friends who are big into saying that. I find it a tad awkward, though I know she means well and like a sister. The friend in Scotland gets "Love and hugs" when I sign off to her. No problems saying it to the immediate family, though usually my brother and I are sarcastically saying it and flipping each other off. So that's more like a joke. Actions most definitely speak louder then words. |

Patrick Swayze's character, Sam in Ghost said "ditto" and he meant it... "It's amazing Molly, the love inside..you take it with you" |
