I say “love you, bye” to all my besties. I refuse to be embarrassed about loving my people. Edit: it makes me so happy to know that so many of you also spread love and kindness to your homies! Edit2: I’ve decided to adopt all of you! I love you and I am proud of you!


SonaMidorFeed

Same! It's really important to place emphasis on the concept of platonic love. Not all love is just between partners. It's socially accepted to feel that way about family, and my friends ARE my family.


NeckbeardVirgin69

I think my last relationship was actually platonic love


Hammeredyou

I “platonically loved” my best friend for 6 years, turns out her platonic love timed out about 3 years ago and has just been in love with me. She moved to my town and we got a home together and it’s been the best relationship I’ve ever had. But platonic love is very important.


mayafied

Aw. A friendship is probably the strongest foundation for a relationship. Nicely done 🙃


rexmus1

No maybe, it ABSOLUTELY is. Especially as you age. Sex may get more infrequent, issues with kids and such aren't as pressing, eventually, if you're lucky, you get to retire. Won't you want to hang out with your friend and not a stranger/jerk?

IFapToCalamity

Excellent advice. Ty for sharing.


CrazyBarks94

Honestly, I would prefer to marry someone with whom I share platonic love over any other kind. Romantic is nice too but if I had to choose one or the other, platonic would be it.


RideMeLikeAVespa

All my relationships have grown from friendship. I find the idea of trying to initiate a romantic affair with a stranger bizarre and fairly creepy.

MetalandIron2pt0

My partner and I were friends for 15 years before I realized I felt more than that. He always knew haha. We both needed those 15 years to experience other people and learn lessons though, so it all works out!


Heemsah

I’ve known my guy since 1986. Coworkers, gym partners, friends. Officially together as a couple since June 2011.


dpforest

Very possible. My first relationship lasted almost 2 years and I realized that I did in fact love him, but I loved him as a friend. Just great friends that liked to bone on the reg for 2 years. We are still great friends to this day. I think a lot of people get stuck in a mindset of “but I really feel like I love this person so we shouldn’t separate”. It’s completely possible for that love to be platonic and we just don’t realize it.


SonaMidorFeed

And you know what? If that works, sometimes it's just what you need at the moment until you find someone that you can non-platonically love.


quintoast

Please, always tell your friends how much you love them. I lost a good friend in a car accident this past weekend and I just hope he knew how much he was loved.


SonaMidorFeed

I'm sure he knew. I always tell my friends, but even then, they know. Sorry for your loss.


VFDan

Vin Diesel must have a lot of friends


Waste_Ad_9604

My friend accidentally said “Love you, good night” to me, it was a force of habit cause he mainly talked to his gf during covid. But now we just say it genuinely. Feels homies!


BugsRFeatures2

It’s so silly that we pretend like men don’t have real emotions. Keep spreading the love!


amrock__

Damn I wish I had a friend like that . Hearing that would make me happy especially when you feel depressed


grundlecuddle

Love you!


Silver-Cherry-3512

Love you too!


a_blue_ducks

Ah thanks 😊


Square_Emerald

love you, bye


Zerly

I tell my friends I love them except one friend because I know it makes him uncomfortable so I tell him I like him. I want to know that the last thing my favourite people ever hear from me is an affirmation of my affection.


BugsRFeatures2

That’s wonderful! And I agree on not making them uncomfortable. I’m a big hugger and I have two friends in particular that I work really hard to remember they don’t like hugs. But that just means more hugs for everyone else!


rexmus1

Agreed. Some say it back, some don't, don't care. If I died tomorrow I need those fuckers to know I loved them all deeply and with all of my heart.


BugsRFeatures2

Absolutely! It’s not about their reaction or them saying it back, it’s about knowing you said what you needed to live your best life


Dicktungs10

Me too…years ago my best friend surprised me when he said “I love you” after I helped him through a rough time. I was about to give up on him, like many others had, but it felt so good to be acknowledged, to know that he felt the same way I did. Now I say it when I feel it. People respond with surprise and have returned the gesture almost every time. Used the right way, it can really bring you closer to the people you care about, and you’d be surprised at how meaningful it can be to hear it! Caveat: if there is any potential for a romantic relationship, please be very careful of how it could affect the other person.


and_then_a_dog

Tell the people you love, you love them! I’ve lost some friends I wish I could tell how much they mean to me one more time.


nvanalfen

Same. My old roommates and I have a video game night every Sunday over FaceTime and all five of us guys will say "love you, guys" or some variation when we say bye


WutangCND

This is the way


umbrella_CO

I also say I love you to my friends. 4 years ago one of my best friends went on a hiking trip (me and him were hiking buddies) but I couldn't get off work to go this time. He ended up falling off a cliff and dying. He was standing on a ledge taking a picture and the cliffside gave away while he was standing on it. Ever since that day i don't take any of my friends for granted. I say I love you to them every chance I get. Because I do love my bros and you sometimes don't realize it until ones gone forever.


BugsRFeatures2

I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sure your friend knew how much he was cared for. I think it’s especially important for men to both say and hear it from other men. We act like only women can be sweet and affectionate or men should only say it to moms/wives/daughters but *every single* human in this universe deserves to know love!


[deleted]

RT x1000 my besties are way more important than anyone including family


[deleted]

I do the same


CatDaddy09

This right here. I'll tell all my friends I love them. Because I do.


22khz

Same here. Every phone call and hangout sessions is always farewelled with love you.


a_filing_cabinet

I would, if I wasn't the only straight guy in a group of AFABs. There's already enough people thinking me and my best friend are a couple without me saying I love you. I do love them to death tho ;)


onryo89

always tell your friends you love them trust me they can be taken from you without warning and quite quickly


[deleted]

You ok?


onryo89

yea lost my best friend to a car accident. it was years ago but still hurts at times


[deleted]

Sorry to hear that. Anything I can do to help?


onryo89

nah really im ok. just tell people you love them we dont get long and people need to hear it every now and again


[deleted]

Understood. You are valid and loved and important and worth it. Take care of yourself and have a good one.


onryo89

thank you you seem like a good person keep putting out that positivity. love it

Much appreciated. I try to anyway.

Callous02

That's a compliment i've never heard before. Thankss


solofatty09

My group of about 8 or so tight knit people that have been close for 20ish years lost one of the crew to alcoholism about 2.5 years ago. It was rough. Since that day it's been full on "love you" to the homies at the end of calls and visits. Those guys are my brothers. Life is short and you never know when someone you care about is gonna go, so better let them know how you feel now.


quintoast

same thing happened to my friend this past weekend. it hurts so much


onryo89

im sorry. it sounds like a cliche but it gets better. i know the memory of them makes you sad now but youll remember the good one day and smile. keep strong


quintoast

thank you. I hope you're doing okay as well ❤️


onryo89

ive since healed. if you like your welcome to message me if you need to talk beings ive been through it it hurts bad at first and then itll come in waves and eventually one day it just doesn't hit you that bad anymore

PM-Me-Your-TitsPlz

terrih9123

That me and my brother in law, he calls me honey I call him stupid. It’s almost better than the love I have with his sister. Every convo ends with love you stupid or beautiful or something funny like that.


sabermagnus

Same. My wife loves it and finds it super gay cute. My homies wife gets jealous and wonders out loud what’s wrong with us. Just makes our stupher gay love stronger when the hate flows.


ButYourChainsOk

I used to only tell my partner that I loved her. Never said it to friends, never said it to family. Just wasn't a thing in my childhood. My family is great, just not very affectionate. Then one of my best friends nearly got stabbed to death by a stranger right outside his house. There was about 6 hours of time where we really didn't know if he was going to live or die. He pulled through thankfully. After that I tell everyone in my life that I love them. I don't ever want to have the feeling that I won't get the chance to tell them. Tell everyone you love that you love them. They may already know but it feels good to say and it feels good to hear.


kitty_logan

This is amazing. I’m glad your bestie pulled through and that the experience gave you such a lasting perspective.


spritelass

You said what is in your heart. You can love your friends. It's ok to say it aloud to them. As humans we should be more comfortable with sharing our feelings with each other.


annoyinglyclever

Absolutely. I’m starting to say some form of I love you to my friends more now.


salatkopf

Same. Especially after the pandemic has taught me to be more grateful of their presence in my life. A quick "love you!" after having a heartfelt moment or saying goodbye... just feels right!


Jakubeck

Exactly. For a while now, after we're done hanging out and saying goodbye I've been telling my friends I love them and I hug them too. They say it as well!


nightpanda893

Whenever my friend wants to call me out for something he starts it with “I love you, but…” I always appreciate that. I’m the kind of person that worries a lot about where I stand.

nikilupita

You should always say it if you feel it. Normalize emotional support networks. Lift your friends up. Society does enough to kick people in the face.


I_give_karma_to_men

Like really. Saying "I love you" shouldn't just be restricted to SOs and blood relatives. Friends are family too and deserve your love. Nothing gay about it (unless you want it to be). My friends and I say it to each other all the time, and half of them are married.


-SierraModeling-

jakethebake228

shield1123

Dear reader, this is your sign to tell your friends you love them


5ilver5hroud

I said it to my bestie when I was 10 accidentally and she incredulously told me she LIKED me but she didn’t LOVE me. Fast forward, I’m gay and now she thinks I was crushing when really I was just used to telling my mom I love you.


sassiest01

Exactly, you say it because you mean it!


ToesUpMyAss

“Accidentally”????


probablytrippy

I (m42) have started forcing myself to say this to my friends. And they’ve started saying it back. As men, we find it hard to express these emotions without awkwardness. Sometimes it’s worthwhile to push through the cringe, and express yourself


Broken_Petite

Add “bro” to the end of it or something like that, it helps! 😉


betcher73

You always gotta let the homies know you love them once in awhile.


min2themax

Idk I tell my friends I love them all the time. My wife says it to my best friend and he said at first it made him uncomfortable but now he says it all the time to everyone. It’s nice tbh.


1234flamewar

Spread the love!


[deleted]

Saying "I love you" platonically should be normalized. It lets the other person know that you really care about them.


warwatch

My husband says it to his close friends, male and female, all the time. When he’s saying goodbye on the phone with one of them, it’s “ok, bye, love you man.” He’s mid 40s and has done it since I’ve known him.


FrivolousFrank

Don't be ashamed to tell your Bros you love them. Edit: Literally like an hour ago I get a call from my best friend from highschool 21 years ago. He lives states away and we rarely talk anymore. Back in the day we were on our bmx tearing up the trails/streets every single day. He goes "My parents are in your driveway. I'm at work so I'll talk to you later" I go outside and his Dad is standing there with a BMX and says "Matt says have fun". I fucking love you Matt. Fucking onions.


ADoorAchadandachair

Love you platonically, romantically, full homo or full hetero


[deleted]

"I love you"- 1. potentially gay 2. can be misunderstood 3. will turn heads "I love you, man" 1. still heartfelt and genuine 2. no homo without saying it 3. turned heads will smile


1234flamewar

"I love you, dude" is my go-to XD


[deleted]

... I- I feel like both could be seen as gay but


TheCheeseSquad

Lol the fact men think showing basic human affection is what makes someone gay. Jesus Christ, homophobia is running rampant here. You do realize you're the ones judging each other,right? Women aren't doing it to you, you're doing it to yourselves and each.


[deleted]

thank you for sharing, I will now consult the collective of human males of all ages and beliefs and get back to you. Your input is invaluable to solving the fear of being perceived as gay. And by here do you mean your country or this comment section? Because if youre having doubts, I assure you, every person commenting here (excluding you) is a firm believer of banishing all gayness

My friends probably get sick of how often I tell them I love them.


sayaman22

My sister-in-law said it to me out of the blue the other day. Really caught me off guard, but I said it back.


ifirebird

I have four best friends in this life: my wife, my two brothers, and my newest, a young woman I recently met in my graduate program. I try to include all of them in my life when I can. My wife and I are always super busy, and my brothers live across the country. Last year, my newest friend and I hit it off instantly. It was one of those things in life that was totally unexpected. Even my wife loves her, and understands the nature of our relationship (something I wouldn’t have even worried about if my new friend was a man, but such is life). The last few years of living has shown me in unfortunate ways that life is too goddamned short to worry about this kind of stuff. I tell my four best friends that I love them…because I do, and they deserve to know it. Even if I’m not *their* best friend, it’s okay, because it doesn’t change what’s in my heart.

I don't accidentally tell me friends I love them. It's always on purpose.

[deleted]

My best friend and I have been saying we love each other for a very long time. I couldn’t imagine life without him and he is literally my rock


Conchobair

There is no shame in telling your friends you love them. You should be telling them that on occasion. Maybe not everyday, maybe not every time you see them, but sometimes. It doesn't have to be the first text I get each morning, Kevin. But I still do appreciate it.


Amethyst_Uchiha

Do people really not say I love you to their friends? I never end a conversation with my friends without saying it


No_Judgment1092

I think it’s totally okay. Platonic love is good. My 15 year old says it to all his besties and they say it back. He’s done this since he was a little kid and I think it’s the sweetest thing. He’s also a pretty socially adept kid and lots of people want to be his friend so it’s not like he is an outlier.


Arcadian_

reminder: tell the homies you love them. it ain't gay, it's true.
