Does it bother you when they say "love you" instead of "I love you"?

[Sora1101]

It does bother me a little bit, I mean if you can type out love you you can definitely take the half a second it takes to put an I in. It also seems less personable without the I, almost like he's just saying it because it fills space not because he actually means it, I know it's not true but that's just how it reads to me.

doesnt bother me because we do both, we say i love you and if you are on our facebook pages you will see us say this often...."loveeeeeeeeeeeeeess youuuuuuuuuu" we know were putting feeling into it so its all good

I personally prefer "I love you" and given that my SO has never said anything but, I probably would feel a bit gipped if he started leaving out the "I" or abbreviating it. :P

[rixue]

It doesn't really bother me because I know what he means :P Though if I had to choose I would prefer "I love you".

I'm not fussy with that.

And I would rather say 'Ma Armastan Sind'

[LilyChiba]

I'd rather see the words in the first place than not see them at all

I never really use abbreviations and neither does he. Sometimes i'll say "love you" if i'm in a rush and about to leave my house. It still holds the same meaning, but I generally say "I love you" if I'm reallly feeling the love oh and also, I only say it if I want to say it... if he tells me he loves me but I'm just not feeling it then I won't respond the same, I'll just put a smiley face or a heart or something.. I just really don't want to say "I love you" if I don't whole heartedly mean it. I also don't like to say it frequently because I feel like it loses meaning.

Yep, same (Zapookie, sorry to hijack your comment but I really couldn't have put it better myself!)

Nope, doesn't bother me.
Like other's here we say "Love you" if we're in a rush or it's something funny or quirky that made us smile E.g You Silly! :P Love you. But when we're having one of our more meaningful conversations it's always I love you.... it's not a choice we've made it's just how we are.
We don't ever use luv or ily, it's just not us.

Not at all, so many more things to bother. if he is expressing his feelings of love for me, what matters is the feelings, and that he tells me that, not how he puts it into words.

This used to bother me for so so long, but I think I heard someone say it on a film or read it in a magazine or something that 'love you' isn't the same as 'i love you'. But, I have come to realise that other people, such as my SO, don't spend as long as me thinking so in-depth about things like this!!!

I think that quite a lot of people don't even see any difference. My boyfriend says 'love you' more than 'i love you', but it doesn't mean any different to him, jus because he dropped the 'i'.

Saying "Love you" doesn't bother me at all, we use it like we use "I love you", pretty much. Howeverrrrr, when he used to say "Me too" after I'd told him I love him, that annoyed the hell out of me >_< It was usually after an argument/disagreement or when one of us were upset for whatever reason.. and it just didn't feel nice.. kinda like "yeah whatever, me too". Thankfully I haven't heard that for ages

xD It'd look so dorky if me or him used "ily" haha.

As for the "love you" question. It depends. Most of the time in general we use the "I". But if we are ending a casual conversation and getting ready to go to work or class and just say okay "love you too," then it doesn't bother me at all. But usually when we are having a serious convo, having a bad day or something like that, or even just saying it randomly to say it we both say "i love you"

As for the question posed later. YES! I correct his grammar AND spelling. Not all of the time, but there are times it drives me nuts and I will correct it.
