Why would he say ‘I love you’ on the first date?

Anonymous
I went on a date with this guy, it went really well and I feel like we really connected, especially going out of my comforts zone, I feel like I had a really good time. After, when I went home we texted for a bit and he said in a text message “I really like you, I actually think like I love you” or something like that. But why so soon? Guys can you help me out?
