About This Quote
I told you," he whispers back. I can feel his breath just tickling the space behind my ear, making my hair prick up on my neck. "I like you.""You don't know me," I say quickly."I want to, though." Here’s how it works: When someone says they like you, they are saying that they want to know you better. They are interested in getting to know you better, both as a person and as someone they could potentially date.
For most people, this is an exciting prospect. It’s one of the most flattering things any person can say to another person. But there is a serious problem with the phrase “I like you”.
If someone said, “I really like you”, people would assume that this person actually wants to date or see that person again. When someone says “I like you”, however, the person is implying that he or she does not intend to see that person again. This creates a dangerous situation where someone who has put themselves out there will be hurt if the other person is not interested in dating or seeing them anymore.
