Why? not tryin to sound like a 5 yr. old. whats so bad about telling a guy friend u love him that u known for a few years
Katie, you might not be trying to sound like a 5 year old, but you need to try a little bit harder, cuz you still sound like a 5 year old. If I told every woman I've known for a long time, who was also a good friend, that I love them, when we parted company I would sound like an idiot. Saying 'have a good weekend' is enough of a farewell, if you add the I love you part it just makes you look foolish. Ok, you asked questions by writing this thread, now, pickup your sixpack of beer and go home.
I'm not a guy, but I tell my friends I love them when they leave, male or female, all the time. I hug them, give them a kiss and "Bye, love you."
The men are not confused, nor do they think I'm leading them on. My guy was a little taken aback at first, it's not something he is used to in his own circles, but actually admires it. I'm very affectionate with the people I love, friends or family.
it is only creepy because it dosent sound mutual, it sounds like it is too much and makes him uncomfortable...
if it is a normal everyday mutual end of conversation,then no big deal.... if the other person hesitates or dosen't say it back, and something feels wrong to the extent you make a thread about it, then YES! Creepy!
Bingo!
If you two are like fighting to say "I love you first" then you're on the same page. But the way you've depicted it is: You say it, and he says it out of reciprocation, and when you don't say it, he doesn't say it...
Someone on here said that your kids say it to their friends... come on now.
I think it it stupid to tell just friends I love you on a regular basis. When you really feel it in a strange situation, or a really serious connection it is alright, but to throw it around after every meeting does
OP, you are treating your guy friend like he is one of your girlfriends and it just does not translate the same way. My girlfriends and I always tell each other "I love you", hug/cuddle, hold hands, etc but the dynamic between men and women (even platonic relationships) dictate different verbage and interactions. Women are just naturally more affectionate with each other in non-sexual ways then men.
If I interacted my guy friends the way that I do with my girlfriends they would automatically think that (1) I'm sexually interested in them or (2) that I'm sexually interested in them or (3) I am sexually interested in them. Men are just wired differently.

not really...are you trying to tell me that if a guy tells you he loves after each meeting you arent thinking 'homie's got a crush on me'

No, not necessarily, because its not what he says but how he says it.
