I also think it's a girl thing. My husband would never say it to his friends. Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261095 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:34:02 +0000 Mae 1261095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I think I've said it to my oldest friend who is basically my sister, but more in the context of a fight (like: You're my oldest friend and my sister and I love you but you're pissing me off…. lol). I do try to make an effort to tell my friends I'm grateful for them though. Which feels super awkward to me and I'm not very good at it, but I think it is something I should get better at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261091 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:33:31 +0000 mrs. 64 1261091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In texts/emails regularly, and occasionally in person or on the phone. Only with my closest friends though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261078 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:30:33 +0000 swurlygurl 1261078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I think we're starting to grow out of it though, because we've all moved away and don't talk as often anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261055 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:24:59 +0000 LuLu Mom 1261055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure do, I just called one of my best friends for her brithday and ended with I love you! I don't do it to everyone, but I have a core group of frirends who I say love you too all the time, because they are like family to me and I do love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261040 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:21:59 +0000 Happygal 1261040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just to my close friends that I don't talk to very often. I think it's nice and wouldn't mind if my friends said it to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1261004 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:12:14 +0000 littlebug 1261004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Always when we hang up on phone calls or sign off on emails. Even my best friend who is an ex-boyfriend. People think that one's weird in particular, but we don't care - I love the kid just like I love my best girl friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260996 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:08:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1260996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to my best and closest friends (only like 3 of them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260991 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:07:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1260991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, to my closest friends, it's often our farewell greeting by phone or person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260985 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:06:32 +0000 MamaMoose 1260985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to my closest girlfriends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260936 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:34:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1260936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to the ones I love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260930 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:30:13 +0000 pui 1260930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no friends I say "I love you" to. I don't even say it often to my own family (we're not a very lovey family at all... When I do say "I love you" to one of them, it's just awkward) </p> <p>The only people I do say it to is my DH and my MIL, FIL and SILs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260842 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 07:23:56 +0000 Ra 1260842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! To my closest friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260811 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:31:27 +0000 mrs. bird 1260811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few close friends I say it to regularly. I do genuinely love them, not the same type of love I have for my SO though. I probably wouldn't say it to heterosexual male friends because I could see that being confusing regarding what type of love I'm referring to. I am a very affectionate person, I guess saying I love you goes along with that (SO would disagree with that as he still mocks me about my failed attempts to respond appropriately to him saying I love you to me, haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260789 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:09:30 +0000 citymouse 1260789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a large-ish group of close friends and I always say it to everyone when we part ways. I dont say it casually, I really mean it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260785 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:05:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 1260785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say it to my three best friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260766 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:46:25 +0000 Dandelion 1260766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't with my friends. It would seem awkward to us I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260756 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:35:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1260756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260753 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:24:46 +0000 BabyMats 1260753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a group of friends that I have been through so much with from middle school to now. We all love in different states so every time we talk or see each other we say,"I love you." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260748 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:15:11 +0000 indi 1260748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a certain couple of friends. Not in the "deep gaze" way like PP said, but also not in a casual "love ya!" valley girl style, either. </p> <p>One is more like a sister, and my whole family is very much the hug ya/love ya/smother ya type, so she gets that same treatment. My other friend is very religious and truly does love her friends in a sweet, caring way, and since I recognize that as her showing affection, I say it back to her, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260746 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:10:07 +0000 Sapphiresun 1260746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I don't like... gaze deeply into their eyes and say "I. Love. You.", but it's a fairly common sign off to a phone call or a visit, like "Love you, see you soon!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260736 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 02:52:08 +0000 mrsjazz 1260736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say it to my close friends regularly, not daily and not once a year, something in between. I'm a believer in saying it because even though my friends may know that I love them, it's always nice to hear someone tell you how they feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260700 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 01:23:43 +0000 PEAPIE 1260700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To two of my very best friends, always. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260676 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:19:30 +0000 birdofafeather 1260676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. More casually though but I absolutely mean it and say it often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260675 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 00:17:56 +0000 hellocupcake 1260675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my close friends, but it's also common to greet each other with a hug/kiss on the cheek in our group so maybe we're closer than the average crowd?

Usually a little more casually like "love ya or love y'all." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260624 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 23:07:57 +0000 Pepper 1260624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say it to my close girl friends a lot! Not every time I see them, but frequently enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-say-i-love-you-to-your-friends#post-1260623 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 23:07:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 1260623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Arden: , but with only one particular friend. And my soon to be ex-SSIL, but I've disowned my stepbrother and consider her my sister as well. </p>
