So.... scouring Yahoo! Answers, I found this question from wabba*pet. :x
It reads: Is there a difference between "I love you" and "Love you"?
Technically no, Wabba, there is no difference between the two, as they both say that you "love" the person you are talking to, and the 2nd one implies the word "I."
Ok...now that I have gotten that out of the way...here at Wannabe Guru thinks that there is a difference. We think that "Love you" is much less formal than "I love you." To say "Love you" is almost like saying "Love ya, man!" which implies that I love (or at least in the moment, really like) something that you have done or something about you. Love you, being much less formal is perhaps said in passing.
I love you, however is a declaration of love. I (and only I at this very moment) love you is something that you say very directly to a person. By sticking the word "I" in front of love you, the person saying it is trying to make a point, and is making it very clear to the person he or she is saying it to gets the point that they are loved!
I hope that helps! What does everyone else think?

Does this mean that the person loves me less by saying "Love you" instead of "I love you"? I'm kind of bothered. -.-" Though he assures me that it doesn't make much difference, I still want it to feel a little personal. :| Thanks. -Wabba
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it is any "less personal" to say "Love you" v/s "I love you" I just think that it is a matter of being "formal" v/s "casual"
ReplyDeleteSay if you get off the phone with someone and the last thing you say is "love you," and they respond with "love you, too" then I am sure that they get the point!
Thanks. :)
