Aside from your partner, girl friend or boy friend, do you often say "I love You" to your parents,siblings,kids,friends? Do you like always saying I love You, or do you often say it on actions or deeds? Does hearing the word I love You means a lot to you? Does saying "I love you" is enough for you?

Hey careguarden! I try to say "I love you" to my friends and family as often as possible! They are three little words, but the mean so much! My friends and I say them to each other all the time! And I always say it to my Mom every single time we talk! Never miss a chance to tell someone how much you love them because you never know what might happen to you or to them!

Yeah, you're right my friend, life is short and we should never missed a single moment to say those words to our family and friends. But honestly I find it hard to say, it's like I'm not used to it, although I have some friends who often said " I love you' that's the time I say those words, in response. But to my parents, nope, but they know it well how much I love them. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I say it all the time, to my kids I say it everyday. I say it because it's what I feel when I'm watching the. To my friends I say it also often, like when we end a phone call. To my parents I can't say it at all, I don't know why, but I do love them.

It's good that you often said that words to your kids, and it's nice as well that you're used on saying 'i love you' to your friends, because me, I don't say those words, I don't know, it's like I'm not used to it though I like to hear that words said by my friends. Me either I don't say those words to my parents, but of course they know how much I love them. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi Care, I always say i love you to my husband and kids...all the time. to my friends, not that often but when i say it i really mean it. i feel so happy saying it to my family telling them how i love them. but it is not enough to just say it. you have to let them feel through actions. words are not enough...action means a lot!

Actually i am not talking about my girl or boy friend. and i have dont any partner by the time. but i have some good friends. and when ever i feel like saying these things i say i love you to my male friends. and in a kiddy way. but the reality is that we have a love also. and love should not be seen in a gender specific meaning. i really meant for a innocent relation.

To be honest with you. I don't usually use the "I Love you" within my family unless it is a special occasion like birthdays. I don't feel saying it because I already know that they love me and I love them. We are kind of a close family but funny we don't say I love you mom and love you dad and others. I like it being express in action rather than in words that float away. Anyways that is my case.

Ha...ha..ha.. we're completely the same, yeah the same as yours, I have a very close family ties yet we rarely say "I love you" to each other,but when it comes to writing and sending cards or notes, we often write "I love you." I don't feel like it's really necessarily since I always show it on actions, being thoughtful and generous to them. As I believe actions speaks louder than words. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!
