they were so into each other

[Ju]

They already met, and they were so into each other.

"they were so into each other" in the above sentence means they were deeply in love.

Am I right?

Thanks.

 

[Phaedrus]

"they were so into each other" in the above sentence means they were deeply in love.

Not exactly. According to the OED's definition of this colloquial use of "into," "they were so into each other" means "they were so interested in each other."

23. Interested or involved in; knowledgeable about. colloq.

I wonder if British speakers use "into" this way colloquially. For better or worse, it comes quite naturally to me. I'd never use it in formal writing, though.
