He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the film, see He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not (film).

He/She Loves Me, He/She Loves Me Not is a game in which one person (often a child) seeks to determine whether the object of his or her affection returns that affection or not. It is often spoken while plucking the petals of a flower (especially a daisy) one by one, with the last petal giving the "answer" to whether he or she loves you. It is therefore dependent on whether the flower has an even or odd number of petals. It is traditionally performed by a person infatuated with another, and actually seeking to reaffirm a pre-existing belief.

The full expression of "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not..." in French is: Il / elle m'aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie, pas du tout (He/she loves me a little, a lot, passionately, madly, not at all). This makes the potential outcomes more numerous.
