He said "I love you"... We barely know each other!

[Anonymous]

We knew each other when we were kids. Years pass by and I meet him one day and he tells me he loves me! Since then he's been telling me 'I love you' every night. I told him that it's too early and it takes time so I won't say I love you and he said ok. but he still says it to me. He messages me every couple of hours. He's getting seriously involved in less than a week!

I don't know if he's lying. How can he be in love with me so soon? He's 18 btw so that might explain it a bit. But I've never met a guy like him... he's being really sweet and he loves talking to me.

Is he right for me?

I am attracted to him and I think he's a great guy but I think it's too soon to be in love. It's just been a week! This guy hasn't been in a relationship for over a year.

Girl, me too! I've been talking to this guy for two weeks (we met on a site) and now he is telling me he loves me! Crazy! Love comes from trust and you can only gain trust over time. Let someone really get to know you and you really got to tell all (it'll all come out anyway over time) and then see if you love them and vice versa. I feel for you. Play the truth game where you guys ask each other any question you can think of (likes and dislikes or maybe something very few people know about him, what about wanting kids, family beliefs, etc) and then ask yourself (armed with the knowledge of answers) if he is right for you. If you want to pursue but he's still to much just tell him the truth because it seems like you may be feeling pressured and rushed to the altar and he may end up even pushing you away. It's hard to get to know someone when you feel suffocated.

Dont believe him just yet. It's too soon although guys truly falls in love really fast. But if you still have doubts dont go into a relationship yet because it's going to waste your time. BE assured first. Talk is cheap. He needs to prove himself by actions. If there's a hint of unwillingness or hesitation, stop talking to him and move on. he's not that into you then.

If he is sweet and you are attracted to him I say stick it out and see what develops but I have to say as a girl I agree with you that it is a little weird to pop out with that so soon...a little creepy. Does he do anything else that makes him seem clingy?

Don't get hung up on those three words. They mean different things to different people. Some people fall in and out of love easily, to others saying those words is a big deal. Saying "I love you" is not necessarily a measure of commitment, shared understanding, trust and all the other things that make a great relationship work.

Try and see past his simple declarations and explore your own feelings about spending time with him. You don't give us many clues to how you feel about this guy, so it's hard to answer your question about whether he's right for you.

If the 'love' word is getting in the way of exploring the really good stuff like having fun and building a partnership, tell him you love him and move on. It's not a legally binding contract!
