Answer 1

I remember "rock stars" who had many "i love you's" from their "fans....simple 'admiration, holding in "esteem" quality of "mental accent in the caring realm..." but, true too...they could have been a "secret admirer" and, have carried you in their heart for a long time, and might be worth being "nice" to them, for it might be something more than a "crush" you have a nice day! "Peace!"

Answer 2

Another way of looking at it is how do you feel towards that individual? If the feeling is not mutual, you need to kindly address the issue with the person. Ask them exactly in what context do they mean? Discuss it in a respectful and calm manner any feelings that you and your friend who want to share or do share. If you do have mutual feelings, take it slow, let it develop through the friendship, and go from there on a day-to-day basis. After all, there must be a developed friendship before a love relationship anyway.

Answer 3

If it came from a opposite gender friend, I would assume they meant "romantically" and I would be upset, as I am happily married.
If I didn't know the person, I would still think it was "romantic" love and I would worry that they might try to pursue it. I really hate being "hit on"... I would probably respond badly by trying to say something to turn them "off"...

Answer 4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow

'Maslow saw human beings' needs arranged like a ladder. The most basic needs, at the bottom, were physical -- air, water, food, sex. Then came safety needs -- security, stability -- followed by psychological, or social needs -- for belonging, love, acceptance. At the top of it all were the self-actualizing needs -- the need to fulfil oneself, to become all that one is capable of becoming. Maslow felt that unfulfilled needs lower on the ladder would inhibit the person from climbing to the next step. Someone dying of thirst quickly forgets their thirst when they have no oxygen, as he pointed out. People who dealt in managing the higher needs were what he called self-actualizing people. Benedict and Wertheimer were Maslow's models of self-actualization, from which he generalized that, among other characteristics, self-actualizing people tend to focus on problems outside of themselves, have a clear sense of what is true and what is phony, are spontaneous and creative, and are not bound too strictly by social conventions.

Peak experiences are profound moments of love, understanding, happiness, or rapture, when a person feels more whole, alive, self-sufficient and yet a part of the world, more aware of truth, justice, harmony, goodness, and so on. Self-actualizing people have many such peak experiences.'

'The first four layers of the pyramid are what Maslow called "deficiency needs" or "D-needs:" the individual does not feel anything if they are met, but feels anxious if they are not met..... Needs beyond the D-needs are "growth needs," "being values," or "B-needs." When fulfilled, they do not go away; rather, they motivate further.

The base of the pyramid is formed by the physiological needs, including the biological requirements for food, water, air, and sleep.

Once the physiological needs are met, an individual can concentrate on the second level, the need for safety and security. Included here are the needs for structure, order, security, and predictability.

The third level is the need for love and belonging. Included here are the needs for friends and companions, a supportive family, identification with a group, and an intimate relationship.'

The only boundary between intimate friendship and intimate friendship with sexual intimacy is consent to sexual intimacy. Don't ask if you are not interested that way.

On second thought, perhaps you should clearly state you are not interested that way.....or not call back.

Answer 5

well I`ve often been described as a vague sort of person (no really I have ) but I do need definition and I would have to ask, what is it about me you love? and take it from there. Depending on the answer would depend on the reaction, I find it hard to let folk too close sometimes (for lots of reasons), hence the question routine.

Answer 6

Maybe this person saw that they have fell head over hills with you. Love starts at the friendship level. You have to take it slowly and discover if this is true deep down love not friendship. Hey it takes friendship first and love will follow if it is meant to be. Take it slow be friends first and see..

Answer 7

Perhaps it is a bit of both. Maybe that person has known and loved you as a good friend for a very long time, and they wish to take it to the next level.

Answer 8

There are different kinds of love, so all I would think for sure (assuming I trust this person) is that they really care for me. Beyond that, I would wait and see if it may be romantic too.

Answer 9

I'd go to the source and ask them what they meant, but if this is a reality, it most likely did not come out of the blue, one
should have perceived this by certain actions past.

Answer 10
