What Does LY Mean In Texting?

LY is a way to say “Love You.” People in well-established relationships use it as an expression of deep devotion, and friends use it as a less passionate expression of love.

When you’re in the early stages of a relationship, use LY very carefully with someone “special”, especially if you’re telling them for the first time that you love them. You won’t come across as sincere when using LY in such circumstances.

In texting, LY is used all the time and can mean a couple of different things. First, it’s the literal meaning, so when someone types LY, they’re saying they love somebody romantically. The other meaning is more casual (and more common nowadays) and just a term of endearment between friends. Be careful with what you think when someone types LY, it might not mean anything romantic!
