Saying "I Love You" Online
Saying "I love you" to someone (especially for the first time or if you haven't said it for a while) can be difficult or feel awkward. Luckily, the rise of Cyber Speak (i.e., the language we use on chat forums and social-media apps like Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat) has made that far easier than it was for previous generations. Below is a comprehensive list of how you can express your love for someone online or by phone.
