Hypothetical situation. A SW friend msgs you often.You both chat on occasion. You've known him or her for a about two weeks. The last msg you get is "Hey....just wanted to let you know....I'm here for you and love you"
In that particular scenario, I would just think it's nice to know that they care. But for me personally, just knowing each other for two weeks while chatting only on a occasion is a bit too soon to be saying that mushy stuff, lol.
@Carver Right....but its like you said....it's nice that they care. I think people get scared when people say that they "love" someone when they mean they care about them.
@shakenama Hm. Well I personally have no problems telling my friends online that I love them back when they say it to me. I really do cherish and genuinely care about my friends on here to where I can say I feel an amount of love for them. I can't imagine why that would scare some people.
I'd have to question it as there are different forms of love. Even "friend" love. Two weeks is a bit on the soon side. However I suppose it's how it's understood. Perhaps it was "I luv ya" kind of message. But I'd still want to know what type it was. ❤
@Dusty101 Right!....but we rarely (here in the US) use the other terms of love in a personal caring way. There's either "I love you" and romantic....or "I love this hamburger!" which is totally overused.Hardly anyone uses "I love you" as in caring....btw...Ive sent the "I love ya"
@shakenama Yes, it is a warm and fuzzy feeling. I love to be loved and I feel deeply. So to hear someone who is not afraid to express love, is amazing. There are many degrees of love, and it always feels good. 🤗
