Said "I love you?"

I'm drawing a blank on when the other exchanges happened. Refresh my memory?

Anyways, it's not just about the words as I mentioned above, it's about the context. Note that I said "obviously in break up contexts he isn't talking platonic."

Obviously Sam, Freddie, & Carly love each other and it's not abnormal for friends to say that to one another. But when it's in the context of a break-up with the actions surrounding it that happened with seddie vs. creddie, it's clear the meaning changes. Freddie wouldn't let Carly say it because he knew what her meaning was...and it wasn't platonic...he also knew it wasn't true. He said it to Sam in the break-up scenario because he meant it in the romantic way that he wouldn't let Carly say to him in the past...because unlike Carly, he knew what he felt for Sam (and what she felt for him) was real.
