Is "I love you too" and "Love you too" the same thing?

Last night I was talking to my girlfriend and I said "I love you" and she returned with "Love you too" . Now this never really bothered me before until today when my friend was talking about how "I love you too" and "Love you too" are totally different from each other. Whats even more confusing is that she says both "I love you too" and "Love you too" at different times. Is it really different from each other? Or just more of the same just cutting a letter. I mean "Love you too" isnt "Luv ya too" you know.

Is "I love you too" and "Love you too" the same thing?
oh my gosh .. dude --- cowboy up !!!





They are the same thing .... please don't make drama out of it ... that's girls stuff.
Reply:no
Reply:Yeah. Aww she good
Reply:I don't think it should be picked apart that much.... I mean, if you're going to base it on anything, base it on HOW she says it, not her exact words. I can use both and I don't mean anything different. You could be making a big deal out of an insignificant drop of a letter...
Reply:I c u kinda have a n understanding of the true fact. If ur girlfriend uses "I love you" %26amp; "love you too" interchangeably then its obvious that they both mean the same thing. Now if she wanted it 2 have a different meaning then she wld have said "luv yah".
Reply:Ditto.
Reply:No, its just the comfort of the casual conversation, she feels comfortable with you, so she shortens it. The word "love" is the big deal to girls, DO NOT SWEAT THIS ONE.... It would be a great stepping stone for a psycho fight that would end nowhere... DO NOT worry about it... Although, you could try letting her say it first...
Reply:I would say they are the same, "love you too" is just a little more casual.
Reply:hay man thy mean the same thing
Reply:it's the same
Reply:"I love you too" seems stronger because of the "I" word.
Reply:Saying the "I" makes it seem more real. But she is your girlfriend. I am engaged and sometimes when my fiance says "I love you", I don't even think about it and say "Love you too". Maybe she just feels more comfortable with you and doesn't focus on saying the "I"part. I love my fiance more than anything but sometimes I do say "Love you too". Or just "love you". And I agree with you and Luv ya and Love you are 2 very different things!
Reply:dude its the same thing. one might argue that the i love you sayer is putting him/herself out there more than the love you too sayer but in REALITY if it makes a difference (like it means less to the love you too-er) then he/she is lying to you. I know when i say I love you to my mom or brother and they say love you too i don't have to even question it. you figure it out! :)


what does your heart say it means?
Reply:your analizing this too much, if she said the words than she must have meant it. It means the same thing.
Reply:i'm a girl and i both used the same phrase... so i guess there's really no difference... besides action speaks louder than words...
Reply:Of course it is. Why wouldn't they be the same? the word "too" is simply in addition or an add on. However, they are one in the same; just phrased differently.
Reply:It's probably the same thing in your case, since she says both at different occasions. it depends on how formal the actual conversation is....
Reply:Your friend is a moron, it totally means the same thing!
Reply:Think about it, it didn't bother you until your friend said something. Obviously you understood your gf. You and your gf communicate with each other and that doesn't include your friend. Unless your gf was also telling him/her luv u 2, your friend is just stirring things up to give you grief.
Reply:No they are both the same. I think your friend is maybe messing around with you.
Reply:Maybe a little stronger... But not that much.... least she loves you lolz.
Reply:come on dude ur making like a whole storm out of a glass of water... its the same thing only that when they say the 'i' part it kinda emphasizes the individual, like that person really loves you i guess
Reply:You should be saying "I" love you too not love you too as if she were talking to her mom. Talk to her about this.
Reply:different.


i love you : they mean it


love you too: trying to be polite
Reply:Don't trip about it... at least she's not responding with, "...and I love spending time with you." Ha ha... Or just "Thank you." (Wayne's World)





My girlfriend and I generally express "I love you" through our actions toward each other, and reserve the actual phrase for more serious situations or when we're really feeling it.





When she says "Love ya too!" it's probably because the situation is more casual, or she has something else on her mind.





Unless you're getting clues that she's uncomfortable saying it or that she avoids saying it back to you altogether, then don't take her semantic variation personally.
Reply:they're the same thing. no worries, ok? :)
Reply:Like saying please vs may I. Yes they are different. One holds a much stronger message then the other. Please is a request for permission and may I is a question of permission. Same as with "I love you" and "love you too". I is pertaining to the person which is you and love you too is just a answer to your admittence. I would prefer a "I" in front of the statement if it is to mean the very same or at least coming from the same place in my heart as my own.
Reply:They mean the same...yet it seems stronger and better....=)
Reply:dont get all shook up,it means the same thing.
