Since 9/11 I try to tell people I love them on a regular basis. The people entering the fold of my friendship and love grows, and as the friendship starts to move a bit more into a long term relationship, I say those words,"I love you." as I part from them.
I expect nothing in return. I have no strangeness about it, but I have witnessed some of the ladies I have said it to pause to try to assess what just happened.
Most respond back affirmatively. Some silence and awkwardness. Eventually they understand.
