What would it mean when a girl randomly says “I love you”?

[Anonymous]

So my female friend who has a boyfriend told me she loved me today at school when we were walking in the hallway.
Does this mean anything? I feel like she is trying to patronize me by doing this

[Cameronnn02]

If she has a boyfriend it probably doesn't mean anything. I have guy friends who I tell them I love them.

[Asker]

Ok lol
Just making sure

[Asker]

I thought she would be doing it to patronize me but I guess not lol

[Cameronnn02]

I mean maybe, but most likely not haha

[Asker]

Ok good lol I think I’ll stay friends with her as she is my best friend

[Cameronnn02]

That's prbably a good idea. And especially if she is your best friend, she probably only meant that she loves you as a friend.

[Asker]

Ah I see
Now that makes more sense

[xZoeyx]

If she has a boyfriend she probably doesn't mean anything.

[Asker]

Alright lol just making sure

[LegateLanius]

Means nothing if she is in a relationship. Probably cares about you

[Asker]

She is my best friend
So, I guess I’ll just be her friend since she has a boyfriend

[LegateLanius]

yeah. she probably cares about you as a friend. Which is rare to have a female best friend, like that. IF you can't have her, see if she won't be your wing woman.

[Asker]

I think I’ll try that
And besides I think I’m pretty much ok with her being my best friend.

[LegateLanius]

cool dude, why not right?

[Asker]

Indeed lol

[outsidecurve]

It means you're cool but in a little brother kind of way

[Asker]

I think that is the way she sees me because once she told me that she loves me but like a brother, I think this was two years ago though

[outsidecurve]

You have to ask yourself, why would she leave her boyfriend for you? Most likely still just loves you like a brother

[Asker]

That’s true lol I suppose I should just stay friends with her as she is my best Friend currently.

[outsidecurve]

... or just make more friends 😀

[Asker]

Lol that’s true I guess I could make more friends than the three friends I currently have

[MiamiMadness]

What's the background story?

[Asker]

So we were taking about our futures after high school and so she was saying how she would never forget me as long as I never forgot her.
And so we were going inside the school and then she had quietly said I love you “Jose” which is my name and so I’m kind of confused as to why she would do this because she already has a boyfriend

[Reincarnated_sóul]

She loves you mmmm

[Asker]

lol don’t think so man
She is my best friend though
