Hi chocolatee,
You asked:
| Quote: |
Hi! Do these two sentences mean the same? Is there any difference in meaning and connotation?
1) I can't wait to see you again.
2) I'm counting the days till I see you again. |
They both express the same wish or hope but I would say that (2) is more loving more affectionate.

Why have I got a feeling that this kind of love declarations appear more often in fiction than in real life? Do people still say these things nowadays? A pity, isn’t it?
Yes, Chocolatee, both sentences convey the same, blissfully romantic message. And, agreeing with Alan, I would say that the second one is more poetic.
Ah, love! |

| Thank you for the responses to my question. I agree with both of you. The second one sounds more romantic to me too. |

| Right and correctly: Did I get it right? | "sort of period" vs. "sort of duration" |
