It usually means "Laugh out loud" and is used online as shorthand for when you think something is funny or when you want someone to know that what you've written was intended to be funny.
However, I had a really romantic boyfriend that always used it to mean "lots of love". :-) I kinda like that one better.

"LOL", "ROTFL", and the other initialisms have crossed from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. Teenagers in North America now sometimes use them in spoken communication as well as in written, with "ROFL" pronounced "roÊf•ful" or "raf•ful" and "LOL" pronounced "lÊl" or "lahl" for example.
LOL (also written lol) is a common element of Internet slang used, historically, on Usenet but now widespread to other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even spread to face-to-face communication. It is an abbreviation for "laughing out loud"[1][2] or "laugh out loud"[3] "LOL" is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms such as "ROFL" ("roll(ing) on the floor laughing")[4][5], a more emphatic expression of laughter, and "BWL" ("bursting with laughter"), above which there is "no greater compliment" according to Magid.[6]

Laughing out loud because the person reading your words can't tell your emotions.
