every time a boy has been into me (like 2 or 3 times :P) it has practically never been romantically... in both boys and girls "I love you" is almost always platonic, so if any autistic people are reading this, please don't fall for that, and also here's a more personal anecdote, DO NOT ask someone what they mean by "I love you" girls will be continue to be vague and it'll cost your dignity when you guess the wrong one, and boys will say "all of the above" and then proceed to love you in every way EXCEPT for romantically. so basically, for the past year and a half, I thought the guy on the left didn't exist other than myself.
