I'm a french canadian. Altough I'm pretty much fully bilingual my first language is french and recently I've become somewhat confused... Maybe you guys can help me out.
In french, we usually either say that we love someone, or that we think they are good looking. There are also a few middle-ground words to say that we could eventually love or have sex with someone. However in english you seem to be saying "I like him" as much as "I love him"... whats exactly the distinction between the two (if there is even one)?? In my head they are exactly the same thing. Hehe. Stupid question, but I need to know. Thanks in advance. peace. |

It depends on what the person saying it really means.
In my opinion, when someone says "I like him", they're referring to the person as either a crush, or maybe they're dating that person and are talking about them with someone else. For example : Girl with her friend: Girl 1: So, how do you feel about your boyfriend? Girl 2: I like him. Girl with her boyfriend: Girl: I love you. Boy: I love you, too. I hope that helps. Now that I think about it, that is pretty confusing. |
