You know what I don't understand...It's bothering me too.

How the hell does <3 = Love?

Wtf? Anyone that can tell me?

[Frequency]

It's hip* to say "I heart you" to somebody rather than "I love you".

You won't understand until you find true love.

Exactly. That's why I don't understand how the hell it means it though.

Use your imagination ;P

Its because <3 looks like a heart and a heart is pretty much considered a universal symbol for love. So it is saying I love you to someone. Sure it may be in a different type of way, but the meaning is still the same. Besides I'm sure its easier to just abbreviate it as <3 instead of spelling it out when it comes to ims or away messages and stuff. If you don't like it just don't use it though, some people have different opinions obviously.

A <3 doesn't look like a heart any more than my foot looks like a giant dildo.
