Haha, that’s a great reason to learn Chinese :). Now, about your comment, two things to note:
1.One can’t remove 我 in the sentence 你让我疯狂. It works like in English, where you wouldn’t say “You make crazy.” instead of “You make me crazy.” See, in Chinese, the verb 让 is always used in the following pattern: 让+noun/pronoun+verb or adjective. For example, 这本书让我流泪 (This book makes me cry); 你的礼物让我高兴 (Your gift makes me happy); 毛线球让猫咪很兴奋 (the ball of yarn makes the cat very exited ). As you can see, there is always a noun or a pronoun after the verb 让.

2.Secondly, your boyfriend is quite the romantic! 你让我欣喜若狂 is a great expression in Chinese to say as well as the other sentences, and it’s a romantic and even poetic expression. But generally, this expression isn’t used in oral Chinese. Perhaps it’s a local difference?
At the same time, 你让我疯狂is definitely a correct way to express affection to your lover. 疯狂 can indeed literally mean insanity in Chinese; but it can also be used as a kind of exaggeration to describe that you have a crush on someone or that you’ve fallen in love with somebody. That’s really close to saying “You make me lose my mind” or “You make me crazy” in English, isn’t it? 🙂
All in all, we’m glad you’re having such romantic talks with your bf!

Oops, indeed, the strikethrough disappeared. It’s back now, thanks 🙂

and its 欣喜若狂 (crazy like happy) not 疯狂 (which is a medical illness – insanity)
He is Taiwanese. I learn chinese so that I can communicate with him, but am in school… so… my life 🙁
