I want you or I love you: which one ☝️ would you want to hear more of? Why?

Question

RHK36 · Accepted Answer

Neither, I'm straight chillin atm and enjoying my single dating life.

If I was looking, still neither lol. Words don't mean shit to me anymore without action. She can say whatever the hell she wants. At the end of the day, just show me. Show me what I mean to you or don't. Actions will tell me what she really wants and then I'll respond accordingly.

AviatorTom · Accepted Answer

"I want you" has "I love you" implied within.

Apulu_Imback · Accepted Answer

I will love to hear 'I want you' from my partner because it usually gives off a dominant vibe and I'm a submissive person. So it's kind of attractive. However, if we are reconciling after argument or talking in a sensitive time then I would want to hear 'I love you'.

But the thing is, I'm not into relationships now so it doesn't matter.

Dysney1023 · Accepted Answer

I mean I’d rather be shown both of these than told. But I think “I want you” is like a choice. Like this man is choosing me with some follow up action. “I love you” anyone can really say :(

WonderBell99 · Answer

I love you. “I want you” is more of an indicative of lust rather than love. I’d like hearing this in the initial stages of a relationship, but in the latter stages, I’d prefer “I love you”

I don’t trust people who are all talk and no show. I prefer actions over words.

DizzyDesii · Answer

I constantly hear the “I want you” when someones infatuated or horny. “I love you” is a bit rare but so sweet when heard. At least you know the first one is something they mean (in the moment). I often have to question if the “three words/ily” is just being said to get whatever it is they want

nolabels · Answer

I was going to quickly say that I want to hear, "I want you", but upon commencing to type, I realized that even though I want to hear, "I want you" really badly, I want to hear "I love you" at an even deeper level.

Why? I believe that my story would take a while to unfold. As would anyone's story, of course.

I'll leave it at that, for now.

richardcory · Answer

Words like "want" and "love" mean different things to different people. What I most want to hear is some version of "you make me happy"

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

When I was told he loved me, if I had wings I’d fly of happiness, I could be happy for a whole day, even a week. I was just on a 9th heaven.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

"I <3 you" is what I'd prefer.  "I want you" could denote or imply a need or dependency which are red flags.

SnowedIn · Answer

Both are awesome. Both have their own unique place.  But I'd want to hear "I love you".

Pebbles1104 · Answer

my boyfriend says I love you all the time to me and dont get me wrong i love that and all but when they say i want you for me that indicates that they only want you and I don't know why but its sexy too

Anemone978 · Answer

Neither, heard both from lots of guys.. none of it meant love. The one who says nothing is the one who actually loves you. lol

provokeesmokee · Answer

I've heard "I love you" more, and I also think being wanted is more visceral sometimes. At least the way I use it

motownplayer2000 · Answer

I love you is always good but that’s great coming from your kids or parents or siblings. If it’s your spouse or your girlfriend/boyfriend or just someone you have been good friends and it escalates to that point. It’s “I want you.”

DiegoO · Answer

It's tricky. In LATAM, we say: "te amo" —as the ultimate feeling. In Spain is different, from what I learned. There is preferable to say "te quiero"—meaning: I want you—because "te amo" sounds exagerated for them.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Both. I want you is pointless without i love you and I love you without i want you would become sexually and emotionally frustrating.

Screenwriter · Answer

They're both tempting, but it'd be best to hear both at the same time!!!

Andres77 · Answer

I want you. actions already imply love. “I want you” shows urgent desire and it means I’m getting some shortly…😉

RavVid · Answer

There is also I need you but that could just be for the rent.

tfan1 · Answer

My wife and I say I love you to each other everyday.❤️❤️. But I never hear her say I want you 😞💔

shades777 · Answer

I want you is a million times better than love because you love your child you dont love a girlfriend or wife, you actually just want them because theyre replaceable

exitseven · Answer

I love you. I could be wanted by the FBI. Not what I want.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I love you. Feels more deep down of a strong passionate affection.

Z1pTD · Answer

I'd say "I want you" just because it's less overused and so it's more special sometimes

Juxtapose · Answer

"I want you" is a loooot less common and would stand out. I like it.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I want ice cream, but does the ice cream want to be eaten? I don't know if it does.

Sin-nombre · Answer

I love you sounds more meaningful then I want you.

AɴᴋᴀʀᴀBᴇʏᴇғᴇɴᴅɪꜱɪ · Answer

Saying "I love you" would be enough.

Happiest123 · Answer

I want you hs I think not a suitable word in fact love is a kind of emotional word which can attract someone's heart.
