Those are good if you have romantic feelings for her. Otherwise, probably not.

Try some of these:

  • Besos y abrazos (literally, kisses and hugs)
  • Besos (literally, kisses)
  • Con todo mi cariño (with all my caring)
  • Con todo mi afecto (with all my affection)

Even though those may sound overly friendly, in Spanish they are very common among close friends or family members.

Once I was tought by one Mexican girl to say ''te amo'', but when I told this to my Spanish boyfriend, he said it is better to use ''te quiero'', because the first one sounds too old fashioned. It seems like ''te amo'' is more popular in Latin America.

Oh, I missed the part that both of you are girls, so probably just friends. I suppose it would be better to use something from Goyo's suggestions ;) - saulele, FEB 12, 2010
