Hi ... I'm new to the forum ... I just don't understand this! Please help me out! Thank you so much...

そっちも寒そうだから風邪引かないでね・・・
帰ってきたらラブラブするよ

All the best,

"That place seems cold so be sure not to catch a cold---when you return [I'll] be lovey-dovey (make love?) [with you]."

Erm... sorry I'm not 100% sure myself; it's lacking too much information --- I have no idea in what context this was said, or written. I'm pretty sure about my translation, but the way the original message was written is weird, so this was the best I could make out of it.

Though maybe I'm late to post here, this sounds like a phone call to me. I think your translation is accurate, though I might've translated そっち to be "where you are" or just "there." In any case, it's a matter of style not meaning-- you got the meaning. Thought I'd point that out since you were unsure of yourself.

Love the *lovey-dovy* bit though. :wink:

When I've heard ラブラブ used it's taken the same meaning as "love" or 愛している
(though, I spend most of my day conversing with junior high school students, so...)

Yeah, you're right. It means "mutual love". That's why there's two ラブs in there. A "love-love" relationship.
