Ti Amo: What if somebody said it to you?

I was just wondering what reader's partners would do if they heard the word Ti Amo said to them? (sounds strange, this question, but I'd like your views)

Ti Amo means (from a web description)

It means that you want the person well – very well, in fact. But it's even more than that. You wrap up all your hopes and dreams in those words – ti amo.

With those two words, you are saying that you deeply love and are sexually attracted to this person. You are adding that you see this person in your future, that he or she has left an imprint on your heart. You can't possibly imagine your life without him or her. Ti amo means you are willing to share your whole self with another.

Those two simple, little words are really hard to say and sometimes they get caught in your throat. Short words long on meaning can do that to a person. It takes courage to say them out loud to yourself, let alone another person who might reject you. That's why Italians reserve them only for special people and say it with meaning.

It may sound weird, but I heard Ray say this to Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond, and I was just wondering what you think?

A female reader, Minelisse Puerto Rico +, writes (2 January 2008):

Minelisse agony auntIt just means I love you in Italian. In Spanish it is Te Amo. It is an I love you but very heart felt, otherwise we use other words to describe you care and like someone as "te quiero" but not yet love them. It can also be said to family and friends, but is more likely said between couples.

Happy New Year!
