Is it just me or do people say this a hell of a lot at the moment?
People I hardly know, just like friends of friends, shout 'bye! love you hunni!' across the street, people leave it at the end of almost every myspace comment, people seem to have to say it at the end of every phone call.
I know it's a lovely thing to say to someone, but I've just noticed it gets thrown around by people so much. Especially people that I hardly know, and who quite blatantly do not love me, and probably don't even know my last name! Is it fashionable or something?

It's such a nice thing to say to someone you love, like you say Kate, but really, it's overused and it doesn't have the same meaning anymore.
I rarely say "love youuu". Tend only to say it to a boyfriend or very close mates when I'm drunk.
I can count on one hand the amount of times my parents have told me they love me so I want it to be totally different for her.
Haha, my Mum constantly tells her she loves her and Lucy goes "I love my big sister Staceyyyyy".
Its quite cute!
Its weird though as my Mum never said she loved me when she was younger. The "love" word wasn't ever really used in my childhood!
Is Abbie saying it alot now that you've taught her?
Her favourite word just now though is shoes, like mother like daughter
Glad it's not just me. It's so annoying and fake :impissed:
Just want to say, I'm not talking about the kind of situation like I think Stacey said about her little sister saying it. That's really sweet! Kids are so cute when they say it!
It's just the false kind from people you hardly know that seems to be littered over bebo and myspace.
I hate fake *hugs* as well. If I only give them when I mean them.
You don't mean it! :crying: :crying: :crying: It's all fake!
Think you're getting this place confused with myspace
Steady on Natasha Bedingfield.
Yeah, I've noticed it, and I reckon that Scott Mills has a lot to answer to. A workmate of mine said "love you" to a customer the other day when she put the phone down by accident. I only tend to say is as "I love you really" after I've been mercilessly taking the piss out of a friend.
I tell my family and a girlfriend I love them. I tell some VERY good friends I love them to bits sometimes, I think if you go about telling randoms you love them or people on the internet then it looks reaaaaally false.
Except if you're drunk.
But the way I say it is different, I love you: Boyfriend
love ya(said in a proper common voice ): friend
I love my friends, but I love my boyfriend more and I show that through the way I say it.
If that made any sense to you, you are a very clever person!
I tell my family I love them and I say it to my friends when I'm on drugs.
I know what you mean about people overusing it though, this girl i'd only met once left me a myspace comment once saying 'love you' at the end, i was like errr hello i dont even know you that well. that sort of stuff is fake
I do sign christmas cards and the likes "love Karen", but I thought signing things off with love was fairly standard, like saying "pass on my love to so and so" if someone you're speaking to will be seeing them and you haven't lately. But def wouldn't sign anything off "luv you".
A few people I talk to on MSN, ALWAYS sign off with 'luv you' or 'luv yaz', when they don't even know me.
I definitely think that the word 'love' should be saved for those meaningful moments.
And Kazbo, at least you're a loving drunk ;-)
:yes: there's worse things to be drunk.
