I see the phrase "愛している" - "Aishiteiru" written a lot as, "I love you".
But I also see "愛してる" - "Aishiteru" (without the 'i') being used in seemingly the same way.
I was just wondering what the difference is between the two.

I thought I knew that, but I guess I was wrong. sweatdrop
I'm not quite sure either. I thought it could be an error but maybe not...
Good question

Quote: With the i is correct, as it adds the -iru verb. This is used more for actual, genuine love. A more common way of saying this would be "dai suki desu" without making it sound so romance book-ish.

  Let me guide you...
One's just a shortened form I believe, while the other one expresses the grammatically correct literate way of saying it. Though I could totally be wrong on this...
...because love is blind.

Kita is correct. A lot of time when talking casually, Japanese people will drop the い from いるor even from います when it is the -ている or -ています form.

Synonymous Kita is correct. A lot of time when talking casually, Japanese people will drop the い from いるor even from います when it is the -ている or -ています form.
I thought so, just wanted to be sure for grammatical purposes.
Thanks guys. wink

As Synonymous said,
You should write "Aishiteiru"
But Japanese speech makes the 'ie' sound hardly noticable, hence 'eru'
I've seen romanisations by Japanese people with the 'iru' and 'eru' however.

But when you say eaither of them then it is supposed to only be used to express very deep emotion.

てる is a colloquial contraction of ている. There is no difference in meaning.
