Well, here are some ways you can let them know. Of course, "I like you" can just be friendly, but, if you say it a certain way... I like you. Then, of course, it means you like them more than a friend; you're interested in being more than friends with that person. You could also say: You complete me! No! Too much, too much. But, really, it doesn't need to be more complicated than saying "I like you". Sure, add a winky face emoji if you really want to, but that's all you need; it doesn't need to be more complicated than that. But maybe you want to be creepy and intense. So, how can you let someone know not only that you love them, but also how much you love them? Let's look at the levels of how much you can love someone or like someone. We begin with "I like you". Now, this just means you're interested in the person. You want to get to know them better; they're attractive⏤that's fine. If you say "I'm into you", that's a bit more than "like", that's... uh... "We need to cuddle right now!" And you can modify it with: "I'm REALLY into you!", "I am totally into you!" But maybe you are crazy about someone. In which case, you could say you are "gaga for" for that person, or "gaga about" or "over" that person. Yes, like Lady Gaga. And that just means you are super, super crazy about them. "Ugh, he's gaga for her. Annoying." If you're "smitten with" someone, you're drunk in love. It's that next level of "Oh, my God, I just... I think about them all the time, and I just, I just want to be with them always, errr..." So, if you have two annoying friends who are seriously in love and they're always together and they're really annoying, they are smitten with each other. Totally in love and totally annoying. The next two are more formal, serious type(s) of love. We can say "enamored" or "besotted with". Pronunciation: besotted or enamored. Enamored with someone. Again, this sounds more formal and a more serious type of love. So, if that's what you're feeling, you are enamored with that person. But then love can get a bit crazy and a bit scary sometimes, and then that person is obsessed! A synonym of "obsessed" is "Infatuated". This is the type of love that usually... People feel for celebrities. "Oh, my God, I know everything about Nicolas Cage. I know his birthday, I know his cat's birthday, I know his star sign. Wow, I'm infatuated!" Pronunciation: infatuated, infatuated. And it means the same as "obsessed", but with love. Scary love. So, if you have a special someone this Valentine's Day, share this video with them and tell them how much you like, or love, or are infatuated with them. Have a happy Valentine's Day. I'll see you next time.
