What does it mean when someone says I love You and she says U 2?

Answer 1

Funny you should ask, because this is something I frequently do to my own boyfriend (I'm a girl). He will say he loves me and, because reciprocation is expected, I will respond with "love you, too" or just simply, "you, too".

As your question implies, there is a big difference between saying "I love you" and saying "you, too".

To say "I love you" is to open up to someone and confess your feeling about them, and even if you are doing so lightheartedly, the meaning is serious. Those aren't words to be wasted on just anyone. However, responding with "you, too" is not hard to say it all. In fact, it's harder not to say it, because it is the necessary response that must follow an "I love you" in order for the conversation (or whatever you're doing) to continue without awkwardness or dissappointment.

So, when she says "you too", it doesn't really mean a whole lot. Maybe she loves you like crazy. Maybe she can't stand the thought of living without you by her side. Maybe she dreams of a time when the two of you will get married and live happily ever after together in a big house and make tons and tons of babies.

Or maybe, like me, she says it because it ought to be said. Maybe, like me, she's feeling nothing at all.

One last thought: I was noticing the mechanics of your question (because I am rather prone to notice such things), and I am curious about something. Are you having a verbal conversation with this girl? Is she saying "you too" out loud? Or is she typing it? Because as insignificant as it can be to say "you too", typing U 2 means even less.

So watch out. If you really love her, you better step it up, and you had better be telling her you love her, in person, and out loud. Just be aware that she may or may not feel the same way.
