He told me he loves me on our second date?

So I’ve been dating a guy. I genuinely really like him and he’s told me he likes me. Before our first date we were texting for a few days and when we went out we had a great time.

On our second date a week later we spent the day together doing various things. When we were at his place chilling he said ‘I love you but I know you won’t say it back any time soon’, which I wouldn’t because it feels too early to say that. I do really like him a lot and we get on well, but was this abit of an odd thing to say? I’m not sure if he just meant it in a more casual way. He said it several times.

What are your thoughts?
