IIRC, 143 meaning “I love you” comes from the number of letters in each word, and came to common knowledge via Nick & Danielle, a couple of the last installment of Big Brother.

In the future, not only will our attention spans shorten to the that of a squirrel’s, we will also lose our ability to comprehend complex language.

However, can someone explain the source of 143 and 459 as meaning "I love you"?

143: I for thee?

“However, can someone explain the source of 143 and 459 as meaning “I love you”?”

I think the 143 is based on this:

I = 1 letter
love = 4 letters
you = 3 letters
