In a clubbing, my flatmate, who we know almost six months, said 'I love you, Oliver' to me. Im 100% sure she didn't drink, she just said these words to me without any sign. I thought it was just a way of having fun between friends so I didn't thinks it seriously and just reply 'I love you too'.
Do people say 'I love you' just for fun or something like 'hello'? Or it does have the meaning of affection between boys and girls?
Frankly it confuses me. its so weird. its not the first time i met this situation. once i just met a girl in my flat and she said the same words to me 'oliver i love you' but i did not know her very much. so i reply nothing just regarded it as a kind way of saying 'hello'
So, what's the real definition of 'I love you'
Will girls say it casually to a male friend?
