Having a little dating problem?

I cannot figure out what to do. I met this guy in my class. He seems nice. And well we started dating, but its a secret (to some people). He seems to really like me ALOT. Like I feel hes obsessive in ways. I mean its been only a week since we started dating, and hes already saying I love you. I think that's just moving a little to fast for my liking. And yeah I am at fault too, because Ive been saying it as well to just return what he said. I know that's a bad sign already. And he just cries too much sometimes. But being someone with depression I need someone who is more stable than me, if that makes sense? But heres where the problem is. It basically is the secret. Hes a different race than me, and I have grown up in a house where my family doesn't believe that whites should be dating blacks, and visa verse. And I know that my family would totally be mad at me if they found out. So im stuck here trying to decide who I want to hurt, I guess the way you could say it. Do I hurt him or do I hurt my family. This has been on my mind all week. And I just don't understand what I am suppose to do. Any adivce would be very helpful!

    As for the saying I Love You part, you should talk to him about it. If you don't feel that you love him, then you should let him know that. Tell him that, you know you've been saying you love him, but you're not completely sure yet. If you don't feel comfortable talking to him about that, then stop saying I love you to him. If he wonders why then, you can explain to him then. But you should be comfortable enough to talk to him.

    About the family part, you should tell your family when you feel you are ready, and when you are sure you love him and that things could work out between you guys.
