I say I love you way too many times. To friends, family, even strangers on certain occasions. I love saying I love you and I like showing it the most But it's different, I'm Dominican, if you would see how much time my friends and I spend telling each other how much we love each other and why and the way, you might even get a little annoyed by it, it's a common thing back home. We are very expressive people, sometimes a little too much :tongue:
I wish I could express love and affection to male friends more fully. Of course there is always a homophobic concern in the back of my head. But I might one day openly discuss that fact with my friends...it's not like I can't respect people's limits or that I don't have limits of my own. But I do think in a way I can't appreciate my male friends fully without a display of affection, though platonic.
