Why don't many Japanese say I Love You/Aishiteru?

i usually heard...
"omae no koto ga.... suki da..."
:inlove:

i hope someone can say it to me :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

For example a couple will say aishiteru to each other only when they have established a strong bond with each other. In contrast a guy will used "like" to denote "love" when he tries to profess his feeling to a girl who he might not well known or not close, such as "kimi no koto suki" instead of "aishiteru".

Yes in Western culture the words "I love you" sometimes loose their meaning when said so many times but insecurities aside these words can be the true expression of ones heart and to avoid them is not the answer. To ask someone to say it may not be so bad when you know that they feel it either. I can say I have said these words but never without a piece of my heart going out with it. "It is better to love and lost than never had loved before", is an expression that holds true. There is nothing to loose but a piece of your heart. You might get rejection but rather than keeping the feeling inside the inner peace you feel after you have said this can only free your heart of the burden of keeping it in side.
