ILU
ILU has 2 meanings
- 1.I love you
- 2.I like you
I like you
If the person you're talking to likes you but doesn't love you, ILU stands for "I like you." You might see ILU used this way in messages like "ILU, but only as a friend" or "ILU, but I don't see us being together."
This, of course, can be very confusing - as ILU also stands for "I love you." So if a message that contains ILU left you a bit confused, it might not be entirely your fault.
