When a guy says I love you over text does he mean it?

So im talking to this guy, and we used to be like on n off and he wouldn’t really put effort into the convos so we like fought and decided to completely stay friends. Then he started talking again n stuff again and one time he said “love me” i was like “u love me that’s enough for both of us” then later he was like “do u love me?” I said “do u love me?” He was like “yea I've told u before” (and yea he has but again this whole convo is happening over txt) and i said “were you honest tho?” He answered with “yess” now I don't know if he’s just playing or he means it in a friendly way or if he actually loves me especially sice its over text? And how am I supposed to respond next time he asks? (n im so confused cuz I don't know what to do)

Mhm I don't think so. A lot of people say I love you over text and it's just jokey but also has a bit of affection with it. He cares about you but I wouldn't be quick to say that was him telling you he genuinely loved you. See how he acts when he says it in person, if he says it laughing and maintains his space or if he says it while looking into your eyes and having some kind of physical contact.

When a guy says "I love you" in person, does he mean it? My friend has three official girlfriends (they are unaware of each other) and he says that to all of them in person. Does he mean it? No. It's not about whether you say it in person or over text. It's about what's in your mind and heart when saying it.

So how can u tell if they actually mean it?

By their actions, not by their words. That's something you learn step by step, along with getting to know the partner.

So how do u suggest i answer his question to not completely push him away but not say i love you either

Tell him what you feel towards him. Minus your doubts of course. Let's assume he's being sincere.

[sweetgyrl1888]

Really it's all about how you feel towards that person you like and may not want to lose

Is he shy as a person?
That could be a reasons

If he is not shy, but an extrovert then he might just be messing with your head to make you fall for him, for the sex.

Love means trust

How far does your trust go and how far does his. Some are afraid to say it and some aren't and that can be used the meaning

[Assassin563]

He could be nervous and not wanna say it in person. I do think it should be said in person tho.

[athakor177]

Tell him to prove his statement & ask him y did he say that the first time.
