I Uh You Too: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Alex:''' "I, uh..."

 

When a character can't bring themselves to properly confess their love, so they either make a statement to similar effect or one that is totally unrelated. The character on the receiving end of the pseudo-confession usually understands what they mean, often responding with something along the lines of "I [first character's statement] too."

 

{{examples}}

== Advertising ==

* A recent{{when}} advertisement for Bud Light has a man with trouble spitting out "I love you" to his ladyfriend but has no such problems when it comes to his beer.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|G Gundam]]'': Domon Kasshu. {{spoiler|Then again, when Domon DOES spit it out in the middle of an [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]] to the [[Brainwashed]] Rain, it's BOTH a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] ''and'' a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. [[The Power of Love|And it freaking saves the world]].}}

** And let's not forget Garrod Ran from ''[[After War Gundam X]]'', who's so scared of being rejected by the [[Barrier Maiden]] he has a crush on (since poor Tiffa's been treated like an object for most of her life) that he can't bring himself to spit it out, since he thinks he'll be no better than her previous abusive caretakers.

== Live Action TV ==

 

* In one episode of ''[[Boston Legal]]'', Alan attempts to express his appreciation for Tara by telling her "You really smell great." She answers "You smell great too," in an understanding tone of voice.

* In ''[[The Middleman]]'', Tyler says to Wendy "I think I kinda love you." She gives him grief for it, but eventually admits that she kinda loves him too.
