It all depends on who you are saying it to. Your spouse of 30 years might not care or the other, but your new boyfriend or girlfriend who isn't 100% secure in the relationship yet you're better off saying "I love you" unless they think "love you" is cool.
As with everything it's audience that's most important. You have to communicate in a why the speaks to your audience in their language.

I would say it doesn't make that big of a difference unless you were writing a theme paper and had to use proper grammar. Saying "I love you" is proper grammar, but the meaning is still taken the same way if you just said "love you." Depends who you're talking too, also.
In my family, "little bit" means the same as "love you" just by what we have been through. I would say how you express your love is as unique as you and the person you are saying it to, it adds to the intamacy of saying it if both of you say and understand the words to mean the same thing.

Well since saying "love you" obviously carries the implication that the one saying it is the one expressing the emotion, saying "I love you" is a bit redundant.
It's exactly the same as far as I'm concerned, but alot of people will say "love you" alot more flippantly.
It's like saying "love ya' " instead of "I love you". The less proper your English is, the less meaning you are trying to attatch to it.

Absolutely!!!! There is a world of difference between like and love. Liking someone is when you want to go out with them and you like spending time with them. Loving someone is when you feel like you could spend the rest of your life feeling the same way about that person. When you can't think about the future without seeing them in it.
Saying "I love you" is like saying I'll spend the rest of my life feeling this way about you. Saying "I like you" is like saying I want to go out with you and spend some time with you.

Yes. You say "I love you" when you and your loved one are in any type of romantic situation. You say "love you" in passing as in you or her/him are going out the door and want to say something other than or in addition to "bye". The first is meaningfull and the second is a quick reminder.

when you say "love you"..its not really coming from your heart. it sort if sounds liek your ruching so you can get the converstaion over with. Plus love you can be anyone saying it. But when you say "I love you" that really is coming from your heart and it really does make your realtionship better. Plus, the person knows that only you love them te way you do.

Yes, it does. Love you is when you walk by someone quickly and throw that out in the air. I love you is when you really care and love that person with all your heart and soul.

YES, My wife and I say it when we get off the phone with each other, before we go to bed and as much as possible. You never know when something could happen and you missed the chance to let them know that you love them.

Yeah actually! To say 'I Love you' is more formal and answering a question. 'Love you' can be towards a friend. . it doesn't really have the same impact!

Yeah it makes a big difference.Look at the words.The one word that is mising is "I"!sayin'"love you"sounds so mundane & like ur saying it because it's your job or something.If you love her,say "I love you" not,uhh,o yeah,"love ya"There's no feeling in it!If U just say "love you",what does that mean?It's an imcomplete statement.If you say "I love You" then there's no doubt in her mind that you love her!
