I Would Love That Too | Natural Agreement That Sounds Like You

Someone says, “That sounds fun,” or “I’d love to do that,” and you want a reply that’s friendly and easy. “I would love that too” fits because it mirrors their desire and keeps the chat moving.

It’s also a phrase with range. It can feel casual in a text, polite in an email, or a little flirty in the right moment. The trick is matching the setting, the relationship, and what happens next.

What This Phrase Means In Plain English

“I would love that too” means “I want that as well,” with extra warmth. It doesn’t just share information. It shares a feeling: “That idea makes me happy, and I’m on the same page.”

In English, would love is a standard way to express strong desire in a polite tone. You’ll hear it in everyday talk: “I’d love a coffee,” “I’d love to join,” “We’d love to see you.” It sounds friendly because it’s indirect. It leaves room for the other person to respond, decide, or offer details.

The word “that” points back to whatever was just mentioned. So the phrase relies on context. If the context is clear, “that” feels smooth. If the context is messy, “that” can feel vague.

I Would Love That Too In Real Conversations

People use the line most when the other person has just expressed a desire, a suggestion, or a hope. You’re not starting a new topic. You’re joining theirs.

• Plans: “We should grab coffee this weekend.” “I would love that too.”
• Invitations: “Want to join the study group?” “I would love that too.”
• Wishes: “I want a day off with no alarms.” “I would love that too.”

Listen to what happens after the phrase in real speech. People often add one more line. That second line is where fluency shows up. It turns agreement into action.

When It Sounds Natural And When It Sounds Odd

It sounds natural when there’s a “want” in the air. It can sound odd when the other person is stating a fact, reporting a problem, or sharing news that doesn’t invite shared desire.

Good Fits

Use it when you’re responding to:

• An invitation: “Come with us.”
• A suggestion: “Let’s try that new café.”
• A wish: “I’d love more free time.”
• A preference: “I’d love a quieter seat.”

Awkward Fits

Skip it when the other person states a fact, not a want:

• “The exam is on Monday.” (A reply like “Got it” fits better.)
• “My phone battery is low.” (A help offer fits better.)
• “I missed the bus.” (Empathy fits better.)

If you want to show you care in those moments, reply to the feeling, not the wish. “Oof, that’s rough,” “I get it,” or “Want a hand?” lands better than a desire-based line.

Saying You Would Love That Too With The Right Tone

The same words can feel calm, eager, teasing, or professional. In person, your voice and facial expression do a lot. In writing, punctuation and follow-up do most of the work.

How Punctuation Shifts The Vibe

• Period: “I would love that too.” Steady and friendly.
• Question mark follow-up: “I would love that too. When were you thinking?” Clear and engaged.
• Ellipsis: “I would love that too…” Can feel unsure or teasing. Use it only when you mean that tone.

Try to avoid stacking extras in one line. A string of emojis, repeated letters, or heavy punctuation can make the message feel forced.

How Emphasis Works In Speech

• Stress “love”: “I would love that too.” Strong enthusiasm.
• Stress “too”: “I would love that too.” “Me as well” energy.
• Soft delivery: Can sound shy or careful.

Polite Short Forms And Natural Variations

In daily talk, people often shorten the phrase. These variations keep the meaning while changing the formality.

Short And Friendly

• “I’d love that too.”
• “Me too. I’d love that.”
• “Same. That sounds great.”

More Formal

• “That would be great.”
• “I’d be happy to.”
• “I’d appreciate that.”

More Personal

• “I’d love that with you.”
• “I’ve been hoping for that too.”
• “That’s exactly what I want too.”

A simple rule: the closer the relationship, the warmer you can be. For a teacher, manager, or client, keep it clear and plain. For friends, you can lean warmer.

Common Grammar And Usage Questions

This phrase looks simple, yet it raises small grammar choices that learners notice right away. Get these right and you’ll sound natural across settings.

Should It Be “Would” Or “Will”?

“Would” is the safer pick because it sounds polite and not pushy. “Will” can sound too certain in this context. “I will love that too” is rare as a reply to a suggestion. English more often uses “I’ll love it” for future enjoyment of a specific thing: a movie, a meal, a song.

If you’re curious why “would” works so well, learner dictionaries spell out the pattern. Cambridge Dictionary’s “would love” entry explains that this phrase is used to say you would like something a lot, often in requests. Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries “would” entry also shows “would” used with like/love to express wants politely, with examples like “I’d love a coffee.”

Is “That” Too Vague?

Sometimes “that” is perfect because the context is fresh. If the conversation is long, or more than one idea is on the table, “that” can confuse. Fix it by naming the idea in a short tag:

• “I’d love that too—meeting after class sounds good.”
• “I’d love that too—a weekend trip would be fun.”

Should It Be “That” Or “It”?

Both can work, but “that” is more common as a response to an idea that was just mentioned. “It” often refers to a specific object or plan that’s already clearly defined. If someone points to a date on a calendar and says, “How about Friday?” then “I’d love it too” can sound odd; “I’d love that too” fits the suggestion in front of you.

Can You Use It In Email?

Yes, but add one action line. Email readers want clarity, not just warmth. These sound natural:

• “I’d love that too. What time works for you?”
• “That would be great. Please share the details when you can.”
• “I’d be happy to. Should we meet on Zoom or in person?”

What To Say Next So The Conversation Doesn’t Stall

“I would love that too” is an agreement signal. Many people expect a next step right after it. If you stop there, the other person may have to do all the planning.

When It’s A Plan

• “I’d love that too. Are you free Saturday?”
• “I’d love that too. Want to pick a day?”
• “I’d love that too. I can do after 6.”

When It’s A Wish

• “I’d love that too. A quiet day sounds perfect.”
• “I’d love that too. We’ve earned a break.”
• “I’d love that too. Let’s try to make it happen soon.”

This is where the phrase shines. It shows agreement, then it invites movement.

When You Should Choose A Different Phrase

Sometimes “love” adds more warmth than you want. Maybe you’re writing to a supervisor. Maybe you’re replying in a serious moment. Maybe you want agreement without personal flavor.

• Neutral agreement: “That works for me.”
• Scheduling tone: “Friday works.”
• Professional tone: “That sounds good.”
• Empathy tone: “I get it.”

If you’re unsure, use “That sounds good.” It’s warm enough and stays clean in most settings.

Small Fixes That Make You Sound More Fluent

If English is not your first language, this phrase can feel tricky because it mixes politeness with desire. These small adjustments make it sound like everyday speech.

Use Contractions In Casual Writing

In texts and chats, “I’d love that too” sounds more natural than the full form. Save the full form for emphasis or careful writing.

Match The Other Person’s Energy

If they wrote one short line, reply with one short line. If they wrote a longer message, add a small follow-up. Matching length makes the exchange feel balanced.

Add One Concrete Detail When A Plan Is Real

When a decision is needed, add one detail right away: a day, a time window, or a place. That cuts down on back-and-forth and keeps the tone friendly.

Keep Extras Light

One emoji can help in casual chat. A pile of emojis can feel forced. If you wouldn’t say it out loud with the same intensity, don’t type it that way.

Alternatives You Can Rotate In Text And Speech

Repeating the same phrase can feel stale. These options let you keep the meaning while changing the sound.

Alternative	Best Setting	Tone
That sounds great to me.	Friends, classmates	Positive, neutral
Count me in.	Plans and invites	Upbeat
I’d be happy to.	Email, work	Polite
Same here.	Any casual chat	Short, friendly
I’m into that.	Close friends	Casual
That works.	Scheduling	Direct
I’d like that.	Mixed settings	Warm, lighter than “love”

Mini Practice You Can Do In Two Minutes

Try these prompts out loud or in a notes app. Say the reply once, then add one follow-up line that moves the chat forward.

• “Let’s study together after school.” → “I’d love that too. ___”
• “We should try that new restaurant.” → “I’d love that too. ___”
• “I want a weekend with no deadlines.” → “I’d love that too. ___”

If you can add the follow-up without pausing, you’ve got the real skill. You’re not just agreeing. You’re keeping the conversation flowing.
