I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find it awkward to respond to “I love you.” Even when I don’t find it awkward, I’m tempted to play around with my response, especially if the “I love you” is coming from someone I don’t exactly love. If you are like me, here’s a list of alternative responses to choose from.

1. “God loves you too.”

Nothing is greater than the love of God, my dear.

2. “I have heard you.”

Abi? What else do you expect me to say?

3. “Ehya.”

This one is for love that will most likely end in tears.

4. “Thank you.”

You have said everything. What else is there for me to say?

5. “Who send you?”

This one is for people who are catching feelings instead of flights.

6. “You will soon stop.”

Well… it is what it is.

7. “Na you sabi.”

This one is open to whatever interpretation you choose to give it.
