When you say "I LOVE YOU", do you really mean it?

I always truly mean it from the bottom of my heart. The people that I hold close to my heart are told that I love them often so that they will always feel loved. By doing this, I get lots of love in return.

I first said that words on the way I sent her home.They come out really from the bottom of my heart.Then she told me "I like you not to the extent".Since then I never said that again,I am always waiting for a girl who I can say that to.

I've never told anybody that I loved them to get something. I think that would be just...bad. :/ But, I'm sure I've told a friend, etc, that I loved them when I didn't fully mean it. But, you don't really think about it at the time. You're talking to them over the phone, or writing them, and before leaving you say, "Love ya", or something, even if you don't mean it from the bottom of your heart. I think the term "being in love" and just "love" in general has become such a broad aspect, which is a shame, because it used to really mean something.

Yes, when you say I LOVE YOU, you should mean it. Dont ever said i love you to someone when you dont mean it.

in general the most of girls who say it they mean it. but greater then 50% of boys say it to get what they want. i dont say it because i haven't found my true love yet

I say I love you to my family & friends whom I really love.I don't misuse it.But is expressing one's love to a pet by saying I love you meaningless?

I mean it with all my heart. We may be hurt in the process. We may love truly the person to whom we say that ... but not get the same in return, at least we learned how to love truly. Its a great experience and at the end, whatever happens, we become stronger and learn from our experinces to become a better person.

i never say a thing that i don't mean.

Yes, I make sure that I only say that to a girl that I truly love, because it's not fair to say it if it's not true. I wouldn't want even the most beautiful girl in the world to tell me she loves me if it's not real. I don't want to be in a fake relationship.

Well i use it only when i do or atleast think i do.lol!!!

i feel that love should have meant to be factor. that actually confessing it is the last step. what happens before you feel compelled to is more important

I know that a lot of people use the words, "I Love You" for a lot of reasons other then that is what is in their hearts. I however, stick to using it because it is true. I feel it is important to share love if you have it, and not to lie just to make someone feel better. And deception deeper then trying to make someone feel better is one of the worst things that can be done out there.

Yes I agree,"I LOVE YOU" word has lost its original meaning of passion and dedication nowadays and this is because of this consumer culture world.Most of the time people use this word for getting something materialistic, either cash or kind.Nowadays love means costly gifts,physical relationship and befooling your friend. But no depth,no caring and no sacrifice.

in the modern love is only a pass time for all

I hardly to say it. However, once I say it, I really mean it. These three words are so precious for me to say to others.

I always mean it when I say 'I love you.' but sometimes it might mean as just friends. I love my friends deeply and would do almost anything for them. Now, if I say 'love ya' that is a different story. When I am going through rough times with a boyfriend and am thinking about breaking up with them I usually end my online conversations or written conversations with them in 'love ya' instead of 'I love you'. Sometimes it gives them a hint. I try to avoid saying it all together in verbal communication. But once they are ok having me as just a friend, I can say 'I love you.' again as long as they know it means as just a friend. Love ya. Haha.

Yup! i do really mean it everytime i say I LOVE YOU ^_^

If you don't mind - is it based on your experienced? Have someone told you before he/she love you but doesn't really mean it. Harsh!!! When I say I love you - I really do. For me, its so hard to tell you love a person if you really don't. Besides you'll know it - if someone tells you I love you yet he/she lies. You'll feel the sincerity deep within. I guess people who fooled others by saying they love them - but just pretending they do. They are really sick. They don't deserve to be happy or perhaps they have experience same thing and getting even by doing same on other people. Pity those kinds!!! But you know what, If you'll ever find someone like this. Teach her/him how to really love someone with no expectations - not waiting for any returns. Unconditional love - as they say. Somehow these people will realize the true/real meaning of love by saying I Love you. Godbless! M-crasher18

I will use very rarely I Love You its realy come from my heart simply all are using love yu but i cant .. Depends upons the situation this words deepnes we can measure ..is int it , so now-a-days - daily i will tell two times for my fiancee whenever he missed alot that time now he is so far apart from me whenver i will keep the phone that time realy it will come from top of the heart..

Why are those 3 words questioned by so many people? If you said to someone, "I Hate You", would they ask if you really mean it? I say I Love You to my wife every day, and I mean it each and every time. If you have love for someone, whats wrong with telling them.
