kimi no koto ga suki Explanation: "I like the thing about you" is as 'real' as you're going to get. Literally, I Love You--> "Ai shite imasu", but noone ever says that. We would need to do a complete work up on your relationship with this person if we were to suggest the appropriate phrase . . . |

Aishiteru, suki etc. Explanation: If you want to casually say "luv you", you could say, "suki desu", "Daisuki" or even just "suki". But if you want to mean love in a stronger sense, then you could say "Aishitemasu", or more casually, "Aishiteru". |

ai rabu yuu Explanation: As the other folks have suggested, one typically does not express affection such as "I love you" in Japanese. So, if you want to say it just for fun, then saying it in English would be acceptable. |

大好きだよ。(Daisuki da yo) Explanation: When I was in Japan, this is the phrase that I heard most. Look deep into his eyes, put your arms around his neck and try it... Good luck! |
