My boyfriend says he's in love with me, but i'm not there quite yet?

He's so sweet and I really do care deeply for him. I can feel myself falling in love with him, but I don't think I'm quite where he is yet. He says he loves me all of the time, and I never know how to respond. I don't want to lie to him, and I would rather hurt myself than do anything to hurt him. He knows that I need more time, but he's very expressive of his feelings, so he says it when he feels it.

So, I've been honest with him, he knows how I feel, I just need to know what to say when he tells me that he loves me, or how to handle being uncomfortable when he says it. Maybe I don't know what I need, lol. But he's a good man, and I won't lie to him or hurt his feelings.

    Guys always jump a little ahead when it comes to love. like with most of my relationships it turns out that the guy and I will be friends and then once we go out he will start saying "I love you" "your so pretty" or "wow, your amazing" wich personally bugs me because I believe guys should do that before we start dating.

    If the guy your dating says he loves you I would reply with a smile. And if your with him give him a nice hug to show you know he loves you. Love is also really hard to explain and sometimes hard to tell when you feel it, many people are inlove with the thought of love. I would also go with your gut feeling. Sometimes your heart is telling you something, oh yeah listen to your heart not you mind.(:

    I hope that helped.(:

    Hi:)

    As long as he knows how you feel, and that you need some more time, there is not much else to do than to try to enjoy the fact that someone love you, even if you are not quite at the same stage yet. Just say thank you when he says he loves you, show that you really appreciate and value his feelings. My boyfriend said he loved me almost 6 months before I did, and it worked out fine, we're still together and happy^^,

    It will work out, I'm sure of it! If he really loves you, then he should have no problem to wait for you:)

    Hope it works out^^,

    from a guys perspective. Saying I love you is just expressing how he feels about you. I can only tell you from my point of view and experience. i was with someone that was in the same position as you. I told her "I love you" because thats what I felt nothing more, I didn't expect anything from her in return but trust and honesty. If I were you I would talk to him. I wish this girl would have talked to me told me what she was feeling. It won't hurt or no reason why to get mad if someone where to talk to me about it and especially when something so beautiful is making the other person feel uncomfortable. Its all about finding a middle ground for everything an understanding. And I have always said it be honest with me all the time and I will always understand you.
