Boyfriend texted me saying "I love you." He rarely says it first. Why is he confused about me being surprised? How can I respond?

I told him I loved him back. I told him I was taken aback. We've been together 5 months and he rarely says I love you first. He asked me why I'm surprised. He said I should know he loves me. I don't know how to respond to him

He might just not be a verbal type and let his acts speak instead 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you are together that much you should know if he loves you as he said 😊 Maybe answer something like telling him that you know that he loves you but were just surprised because he is not verbal about it usually.

I guess you should have realized it by now, but yeah sometimes guys get scared off when you say that

Scared off when we say what?

You love them

He's right you should, but that shouldn't prevent him telling you.
