Yes, without hesitation.

I say it to all my female friends who I cherish.

yea after i got my divordce I started noticing that At first I thought it was weird but now it's no big deal just different kinds of love

I was friends with a young woman who told me that she loved me. She had a GF when she said that. I thought she knew that I'm married and about 30 years her senior so I said that I loved her too. I thought she meant that in a platonic way but apparently she didn't so now I'm reluctant to do that. Anyway, my best friend of the opposite gender is my wife and I've told her that I love her many times but we are "in love". I love our niece but I think I'm going to wait until her wedding day before I tell her that. ;)

Hell ya! I say I love you to all my close friends and family. They obviously know what I mean and do not confuse it for the real love I feel for my significant other!
-
I say it to all my close friends,male or female. I tend to say it more when getting ready to hang up the phone after having talked to them. I always say "love ya" before I hang up.

My best friend is my husband so I have an easy out! But in my circle of friends we always say "I love you" or "love ya". It is a well used phrase that has affectionate or bond-of-friend-and-family connotations.

Only if you're a girl, or a gay guy. If a straight guy says that he loves you, double check (casually/friendly) what he means. But from girls/gay guys it's totally normal.

i just heard it yesterday from a female friend. it makes me feel uncomfortable because it makes me have needs! :)
-
Yes, we tell each other we love each other all the time, and we both know exactly what is meant by it. No misunderstandings.

Occasionally, not very often. My best friend is a female, and we've been very close for about 10 years now. If the situation calls for it (like one of us is very depressed or having a rough time), we have no problem saying "I love you" to each other. It's not romantic or sexual, it's just a reminder of how important we are to each others' lives.

love is love. I say "I love you" to my best friends and my cousins because I do love them.
