    I googled it (since I hadn't heard it either) Wikipedia says it's "Allerbeste/r Freund/in"

    Very interesting! I've never heart that either, but I'm sure I'll remember ABF from now on!

    that's also a way to express "dear" "Mausi" for example was a form of "Maus", which is mouse in English, but "Maus" or "Mausi" is often used as a pet name in German. "Schatz" means treasure, "Schatz" or "Schatzi" are also used as pet names.

    Pet names for lovers, definitely. Or very close female buddies (among females) ... I'd never call any of my male friends "Schatz" without really meaning it And I never heard this among guys unless they were joking.

    how about female lovers? lol.... i couldn't make what it was all about... coz they were definitely two girls. (so they friends? ) but were like kissing... is that common in German girls that are friends?

    Yes ... I don't call my female friends "Schatzi", but if I did there would be nothing much about it. Nobody would pay any closer attention to it. And kissing between girls is OK as well, for example when you meet a close friend you kiss them on the cheek or even on the mouth - but just a short kiss

    There's two ways to express "I love you" in German
    "Ich liebe dich" would be an expression I'd only use when I really mean it, while "Ich hab dich lieb", a weakened version of it, is commonly used.
