What does the heart on Facebook mean?

The heart on Facebook - several meanings

• Heart means love, every child knows that. But now time has changed and the symbol is no longer given as much meaning and seriousness as it was a few years ago. Especially through the social network Facebook and its possibilities, the love sign faded more and more into the background as a sign per se.
• For lovers, the heart on Facebook still means love. Especially when you are chatting with your loved one because you miss them, the symbol is in the right place. An "I love you" combined with the sweet sign will make your chat partner sure get weak knees.
• But the symbol is also used for completely normal things. For example, if you've discovered a great pair of shoes on a website and are dying to share it with your friends, post the link on your FB-timeline and maybe write something like: "I really want these shoes <3". This is completely legitimate and everyone understands that you do not want to marry the shoes, but just think that they are dreamlike and that you somehow fell in love with them anyway.

That also means the love sign

• The love symbol is also often used in friendships. Here, too, it does not mean: I want to marry you, but simply "I love you very much" or "I love you", but in a friendly manner. Photos or posts by friends are often commented on for a long time. Sometimes a heart or two falls. Especially when you make friendly declarations of love via Facebook, the symbol can also be inserted several times one after the other.
• "Likes" often include cute animal designs, beautiful islands, and half-naked women. The heart symbol is also often used for this and simply means: Wow, how cute, breathtaking or hot.

Are you logged in to Facebook and like to chat? Then sometimes it's something ...

The love sign can therefore be used almost everywhere and still means the same thing from the basic point of view, but it is no longer just the sign of pure love.
