Does he really love me ?

Okay, so here is the "background details".

I am 18 years old and he is 21 years old. He was engaged to one of my best friends when we were in high school. [[My best friend and I happen to share the same name]] I've liked him since 5th grade. They broke up, and two years later I started thinking about how lucky of a girl i'd be if I was his girlfriend !

Anyways. I added him on facebook one day. We chatted and, I gave him my phone number. I didn't think he'd talk to me after that. It was maybe ten minutes later that I got a text that said, hello :) it's [his name]. I was super happy. We texted for a couple hours and finally I told him about my crush on him. He said really ? I thought you hated me ! [We had some conflicts, that arose out of him playing drums too loud when i'm trying to play my instuments in the and room]. After that he talked about how he thought I was cute when I would walk around the band room singing. He then said can I call you ? He did, and seven hours later we got off the phone :). We both agreed we wanted to see one another very soon, we agreed that it had to be that day ! I then went to bed for two hours and then made the hour drive to his house. It went great, he asked me out. And I said no, that we need to get to know each other better.

We saw each other and talked on the phone daily for another 8 days. And we constantly talked about how fast we were falling for one another <3. He played at concert, which I went to. And afterwards I asked him to spend the weekend with me. Because my grad party was two days later. He came with me and something horrible happened, it involved an assault on him, by one of my family members. [There were charges pressed.] And, he had asked me out again that day, and I planned to say yes that night, but I didn't get to. The next day we had a great time at my grad party, and I finally said yes. Now five months later we're still dating, the court case is underway. I'm head over heels for him and we're talking about marriage :)

That last piece tells me that he loves me very much. But, I want other peoples opinions too ! If you haven't noticed, I am extremely insecure...
