It's a heart shape, he loves you!! Maybe he's too scared to tell you to your face yet and is just testing the water

Bit less scary to do it by text? He might not be sure if how you feel and so doing it this way might be helping him to broach the subject delicately?

Or he might not really mean it? None of us can tell but if you ask him hopefully you'll find out :)

Aw Grin

OP and her DP, sitting up a tree...!

I'd ask him about it too. Enjoy it (all the butterflies etc) before others start asking 'are you sure it was for you?' etc Grin

I told my dh, then boyf, elephant juice to test the water.
no im not completey insane, if you lip read its the same a I love you. Sort of whispered it so if he burst out laughing or felt awkward I could have cone out with aq wholly bollocks story about elephant juice.
After 10 years he signs all cards and texts to ke elephant juice ! Grin

Oh is that what it means? I thought it was something to do with 'less than 3' so had interpreted that message as "1 less than 3 (=2) xxx". Blush

That's sweet OP. I probably would have responded as you did, always safest when you don't know what's going on.

Well it's very sweet and you reacted appropriately. Think he needs to tell you to your face really?

Well he mentioned it first. Said he was a bit disappointed by my response.
He didn't use the L word but said well one step at a time.
Am now even more confused!

If you love him, tell him you do. There's no rules that say he has to say it first.

Life's too short to not say what you feel.

Good luck.

I'd be so disappointed if the way someone decided to tell me they loved me was a text written in text speak.

I think he's lucky you responded at all.

No, it means either "less than three" or "you are a pear shape and I am Gok Wan"
