Do you tell people you love them all the time, including casual friends and relatives??

Or are you more likely to use it "only when you really mean it"? I put that in quotes, because you can't really judge whether someone really means it or not.

I use it casually, but not that often if it that makes any sense.

I don't use that word with people very often. I show my love other ways, a pat on the back, bbq'ing for friends and family (if a steak off my grill does not let someone know I care, no amount of words can), praise, and standing behind someone I respect.

Things I love? A sunny day that is not too hot or humid with a blue sky. When someone smiles at me and says something nice.

As far as people goes, I don't really use the word "love." I've never been in love and usually don't think of expressing that I love my family members. Towards my family, I use it especially when someone is out of town by calling them and telling them "love ya." So, no, I don't even use it casually, not even with friends.

I think of "love" as a strong word/action to just use freely. I mean, I don't really think about it when I am talking with people.

I love my husband and my kids and my family(well, most of them) very much! But I rarely tell them so! :( I need to work on that! :D

I have problems saying "I love you" to my parents.

I have problems saying "I love you" to my parents.
I find myself in the same predicament. It seems the ONLY time I say "I love you" to my parents or to my sister is whenever they are away OR there is a crisis happening. Other than that, I don't even think twice about it. Tsk-tsk-tsk....

I don't really say "I love you" much at all, I usually just show it.

I hardly ever say it. At all. To say goodnight to mom, to my dog...I don't say it to friends or anything. I can be a really touchy feely person but ONLY when I open up which takes me FOREVER to do.

:lol: :bighug:

Wellll...sort of split.
Ill use it casually, in context of being exceptionally happy or something- "ohhh!!! i love you!!!" but seriously for real "i love you", not too often. the "l bomb" is a big deal to me in a relationship.

oh, but a few drinks and ill tell everyone at a party that i love them sooooo much. ;)

I have problems saying "I love you" to my parents.
So do I.

I have problems saying "I love you" to my parents.
me too. even if i mean it, it feels so uncomfortable. i forced myself to say it to my mom when she was near death because i knew it could well be the last time i ever saw her. i'm glad i did.

*raises hand*

I too, have this problem. I don't know why, they're just hard words to spit out, even to a parent. ****, I feel weird saying it to a puppy.

I use the word very freely, but only when describing something that I feel that way about. It's very difficult for me to say it to someone. But sometimes, it will just come out naturally.

I always say I love you to family members. Whenever I hear people say "though we were never told it we knew that we were loved."about their families, I was always greatful that we weren't like that.

I do say I love you to my pets. :heart:

I tell my wife and kids "I love you" constantly.

I tell my mom I love her everyday. I just think, what if something happens and she doesn't make it home or something. I know it's dumb to think that, but I worry about that sometimes. I don't get to tell my dad that much, because he's gone by the time I wake up. I use it often with family. I've never been with a guy to tell him that I love him and stuff.

I love you all! :love:

I love you all! :love:
awww! we love you too! :D :mrt: :biglove:

I say it to my mom and I say it to my good friends but I have NEVER said it in the "I'm IN love with you" way..if that makes any sense at all

about the only time I say "I love you" is to Jonathan, and that's a "in love with you" type way. I don't guess I really tell anyone else I love them, i should, but i honestly just do not think about it.
