| Have you ever said I love you to someone you are not comfortable giving a hug 
I only suggested hugging as a substitute to saying ILU, not as a license to go about liberally hugging people of opposite sex  | |

One person's 'comfortable' is another person's 'too close for comfort'.
Reciprocity can never be assumed especially when it comes to romance.
I might say ILY to a guy but he might think I'm a stalker.
Anyway, this is a thread about words in English and German.
