LoveSoDeep Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Love Always, _ Your Name_ xoxo! Who would get this kind of card/letter from you? ie would you send this kind of greeting to a friend, your mother, a distant aunt? I know everyone is different and that's why I ask. I just want to get a sampling of different answers from some guys b/c I'm a girl and my asnwer is probably way off base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momake Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 My girlfriend would get this. I don't really write this type of (mushy?) stuff to anyone else. In fact, I don't really write letters (or emails) to my mom or family members... I just pick up the phone, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momake Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Oh and to answer the question in the topic heading... it means exactly what it states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseKitten Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 'Love always' would indicate a boyfriend to me. It's romantic. 'Love from' however could be used for pretty much all my family, and probably my close friends too. Saying 'love always' to me sounds more romantic and gushy than just the word love or love from.

oldenoughtoknow Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I use "Love Rich" to close letters, birthday, Xmas cards, etc., to my SO, my kids, my family and close friends (even a few at work). As a guy, I've never used xoxo - even to a hot romantic interest. It's just not me - too cutesy and mushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveSoDeep Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah see I use "Love LSD" all the time with family, friends anyone who is important enough that I bought them a card.... but yes it's the "always" and the "xoxo!" that I thought made this an unusual gesture. I'm glad I'm not alone in this line of thinking. I'd love to hear more opinions though...so keep em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to get a sampling of different answers from some guys b/c I'm a girl and my asnwer is probably way off base. I wouldn't put any stock in it. People use the word love to mean affection and good thoughts. They don't mean it literally. Personally I don't like going to a 12 step fellowship meeting where absolutely no one knows me and when I introduce myself I get "welcome ______, love you a lot". I live in the world of show me don't tell me because I can see how fast that BS love falls away if I open my mouth and disagree with any of their dogma. They might as well say "love you a lot as long as you conform". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is coming from a guy who will tell his mom and sister he loves them on the phone so he's not afraid to say the "L" word.... I guess to me it just seems a little extra mushy and I wasn't quite expecting that from him....right now....I'l take it of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givinggirl Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I had this guy give me a very sweet birthday card and sign it Love and he knows that I have an interest in him. To me, if it's just a friend, I would automatically sign it love, but if there is any instance that one person or both people have other things in mind, I would put a lot of thought into using the word Love, as to not confuse any lines. I guess that's why it is probably best not to read into it, even though it may be tough, because it means different things to different people. I just never thought a friend who was a guy would sign anything other than his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You girls are so complex! No wonder us guileless guys are always so profusely perplexed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNapalm Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I would never resort to such signatures but if I had to it would probably go to a female friend or girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea13 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 But ever considered that some guys just like to say these things? There's this guy who would write on my fb that he loves me but I know it's just friendly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveSoDeep Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for all the responses. Of course I'm not going to read too much into the signature line on a card I just wanted some opinions. I know that really eveyone is different and every situation is different and it's best to rely on actions not words. It's just fun to hear what other people would think of the situation.
