"I l+ve you" rolls off the tongue, right? Why is it so much harder to say "I l-l-l-like you"?

Well heres the thing I'm not going to do that because it's weird & creepy and seems stalkerish like "I like you" seems like something someone says in a desperate attempt to get attention if you are hanging around a friend,or have a lover of some sorts it should be assumed that you do like them and they know. It's much better to say "Are you single would you like to go out sometimes?" than "I like you!" I would probably walk away from a person like that. If they said "They loved me." I'd run. I mean if you do say "I like you." it should be after you've known the person for a while so they won't think your some needy freak. I like you doesn't roll off the tongue it makes you feel nervous and anxious unless your with that person etc. If I saw a really hot guy I couldn't just walk up to him and say "I like you." I would be afraid he'd laugh in my face. I love you and I like you is hard for me to say I love you is probably the hardest for me to say because I take love VERY seriously and I have to actually LOVE someone to say it it is more than a word to me I have to feel it in me. I one time said it to a ex by accident and I took it back that's how strongly I feel about it.
