We say “I love you” to our friends, right?

I (35) finished up a phone call in the office by telling my friend “Safe travels, I love you.” My slightly older coworker kind of giggled and was like “You realize you said “I love you” when you hung up?” And I was confused like, yeah? She is my good friend and I love her? And my coworker admitted she would never say that to someone who wasn’t her family or romantic partner. She said it was probably a generational thing (she is maybe 10 years older than me).

I know gay panic was still a thing when I was in like middle school, but most of us grew out of that, right? Or is just a me thing?
