Just be flattered :smile: He shouldnt be expecting you to say it back and he'll probably just leave it now.

Hope he doesnt bring it up again if its making you feel really uncomfortable :rolleyes:

last night my boyfriend happened to say "i think im falling in love with you" and its completely put me off him because i know i dont feel the same way about him. I do like him, just not love, ive only been seeing him for a month and i dont want him to go tell me something like that!

thats what bfs are for!!!
hehe! even if you dont feel the same. its a compliment. someone falling in love with you is good. you never know you might trip one day and fall for him too!

good luck! hehe!

aw, thank you all for your comments and help!
there's not enough love in the world anyway - be nice about it
it probably took him a lot of courage 2 say that
yea...its not easy to say those few words if you really mean it.

just make sure he's not just trying to get into your pants......i hate guys who do that to girls, it so dilutes the meaning......

It's worth talking about it
I used to just use love a lot... and then when I was 14 i had a boyfriend for whom "love" was something very very definite so when i used the L word he literally freaked out. I mean credit to the guy he calmed down very quickly and said "me too" so I wouldn't be embarassed but I could see the terror in his eyes :wink:
Anyway since then I've had two boyfriends - one of whom I would have married and one of whom I was pretty serious about. Both used the L word a bit prematurely and with Dickey I was just like huh?!?!!
For some people it's a really big deal - to me being "in love" means stuff is PRETTY DAMN SERIOUS! But for others (like me aged 15) it's a word you just throw around. I know that as far as friends are concerned I tell them all I love them - just not boyfriends. It might be worth talking to himabout it
anyone here with more experience can suggest a "recommended" period before which to even consider saying the L word?

I dont say love till I mean it.
yep, neither do i, but sometimes one is ready sooner than his/her partner and saying it can ruin things even if its sincere

I'd only mind if it wasnt sincere...

Think of it in postives, now you know you're the one in control in the relationship, he isnt going to be unfaithful to you for a while at least...

Just ignore it and tell him its sweet or something.

(although I have a mate of mine who tells girls he loves them at the drop of a hat, I think hes told every girl hes ever slept with that hes loved her... Generally a little previous to sleeping with them!)

Some people say it easily, others mean it. You dont really know which he is?
Just don't say it back, unless u mean it and wait to see what happends :smile:

If you feel you won't ever love him, there's something a bit wrong with staying with him surely. :confused: But if you think you need more time, there's nothing wrong with that.
