a term of polite rejection used by prospective employers, girlfriends and perhaps other people whose approval you seek. It generally means "I really don't give a crap, but objectively speaking, I suppose it's possible that someone else might."
"I can appreciate the fact that you have strong feelings for me..."
"I appreciate what you're trying to do with this story."
"I appreciate what you're trying to do with this story."

My girlfriend doesn't appreciate me...
Doesn't everyone wish they got a little more appreciation now and then....
Maybe if you appreciated her more you'd get a little more respect...(see definition of "respect" by Murray)

an overwhelming feeling of gratitude - for example when someone uber generously gives you some music off their ipod.. and a fair bit resultant love goes into that word too.
The appreciativeness I feel right now is unreal - my ipod's got new va-va as my Romeo gave me some new music - and new life.
