It’s closer to “you’re dear to me” as “lieb” also means dear as an adjective

In Spanish we have “te quiero”. Also doesn’t have an English translation. Ir would be something in between like and love. Very useful also cos it have no romantic connection

"I hold you dear", you absolutely have that expression, you just stopped using it for some reason.

There is another level, which is "HDGDL" and means "hab dich ganz doll lieb", and at 12 that meant you were basically dating.

I also think „Ich bin verliebt in dich“ is one step before „Ich liebe dich“ but on step after „ich hab dich lieb“

Ich hab dich lieb is not distinctly non-romantic. Ich liebe dich is distinctly romantic. There's a difference. You can say "(Ich) hab dich lieb" to your partner, that would just be seen as a less formal or less serious way of expressing your love

Well, boyfriend would be "Freund", yes. But friend would actually translate to "Freund, also nich MEIN Freund sondern halt ein Freund von mir, nicht mein FREUND Freund, sondern ja..."

bliblahbluh :
And „Ich mag dich“ can still mean I like you in a romantic way, and „ich lieb dich“ can be completely platonic. It’s so freaking complicated 😩

There's actually another step between "Ich hab dich lieb." and "Ich liebe dich.", which is "Ich lieb dich." Dropping the e at the end of liebe takes off weight.

about the "not being able to differentiate" between Bf and friend: for bf you'd say "my Friend" and for friend you'd say "a friend of mine"

You can also say it in romantic relationships

There is “mein Freund, vs. “ein Freund”. That’s the distinction
