Male Co-worker tells me “love you” at the end of phone conversations sometimes - GoFuckYourself.com

He has a wife, a side piece, and 5 kids. Nothing gay. Just not sure how to handle it. I hear him tell one of is other long term friends this on the phone as well.
Do I say it back?

probably just a habit from having to say it to a wife and 5 kids? or maybe he wants to get intimate... hey maybe some sexy time for ya soon

There are those that are just affectionate but not gay - say what they feel.
You could simply reply with "right back at you" or "I feel the same way" - but its what you feel comfortable with.

I do the same with people I've known since i was a kid at school, male and female.

Sounds like a catch phrase. Do what you feel most comfortable, "you too", "thx" or tell him it sounds weird.

Yes I will try this . Also could this be a “black thing”? He is white but identifies as black because he grew up in da hood.

Why not just ask him? Or tell him to stop if you don't like it?

It's just a non-homo I love you . . .

I tell my friends I love them all the time, especially when we’re parting ways. I’m just that type of guy. Life is too short, I like the people I love to know I love them. I’m also not exactly the biggest social butterfly, takes a lot to become my friend and if it happens it’s because I love you and ima tell you. If you think that’s weird, we’re probably not friends.

Co-workers are not automatically friends. Only say it back if you mean it.

Damn.

Where is boyalley when you need him to answer a question.

I bought him a container of sliced organic strawberries instead of telling him him I love him. True story
