On our last FaceTime sleep call, I made a joke saying - "Wow, you don't like me huh?" and he blurted, "I love you" for the first time and then immediately starting apologizing and saying he didn't mean it and that it just rolled off his tongue. So, I brushed it off and didn't say anything back because he didn't say anything when I questioned if he actually meant it or not.
The next morning, we were saying our goodbyes to one another because we both maturely agreed that our situation is unrealistic (given college, distance, and where we are in life as 17/18 year olds). However, before he hung up on our last call before no contact he said, "I love you" for the second time. Now, I know he means it but I didn't get to say anything back.
My head is spinning with questions such as:
Is it okay to break no contact and talk to him about it? I like him a LOT but I don't think I'm on the level of love yet so would there really be a point to? Especially since we already agreed on going separate ways because of the timing? If you were him, would you even want me to break no contact - like what if he just said that because he knows we'll never talk again and wants it to stay like that?
(P. S) I know that he has never been in love or confessed his love to somebody before.

It’s possible to love each other and also acknowledge that you aren’t at a place where you two can have a relationship. I think going back would only complicate the situation further and make it harder than it already is. There is nothing easy about breaking up when you still care for each other, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t necessary when or if the time comes.
So sorry love😔
Long distance relationships are not the easiest. I don’t suppose no contact would be either. But you never know until you try. If you find someone with your exact situation then you could learn from them otherwise you could become that couple for others who are bound to ask the same question you have.
I’ll leave with saying this: can true relationships be formed without trye expressions for one another?
If the love is there and it’s real, you’ll both put in the efforts to make it happen.
If it goes well for you both, then success story.
If it doesn’t, good lessons learned for the both of you. You’ll both quickly learn what you want or don’t want in the future.
Take things slow and see if you can both create some goals to go after with each other. Most long-term successful marriages happen through a commitment of accomplishing shared goals. There is no pain, challenge, or sacrifice that true love can’t endure.
Yeah. Do it. Fuck it
