Thank you for the clarification.
abaya: Yeah, analyzing text is what I do for a living also. It's hard to turn it off, isn't it?
Cynthetiq: I'd probably find that strange and a little off-putting. I have exactly four people I talk to regularly to whom I'll say "I love you". It comes easily to me when I love someone, but it isn't something I'll easily give away or expect outside of a very close bond. I'm not criticizing, just sharing my own reaction.
