In love, as in life, one misheard word can be tremendously important. If you tell someone you love them, for instance, you must be absolutely certain that they have replied "I love you back" and not "I love your back" before you continue the conversation.

About This Quote

I love you is the most important phrase in the English language. It can make or break a relationship, and it’s easy to mishear. When someone says it to you, you have to respond “I love you back.” If you don’t, that person may think that you’re just being nice or that you’re not serious about the relationship.
