i searched and didn't find anything in this category, so i hope this isn't repetitive

i just was wondering, do any women find themselves in a relationship, and pretty soon into it, the guy says "i love you", when you might not even know if you feel that way for him?

i've been dating this great guy for about 3 weeks, we went to HS together and played "crush tag" i guess. every time i liked him, he had a gf, and vice versa, for a few years now. so we had been kinda casually seeing each other for a coupla months (i guess as friends w/benefits) and then i was out of touch for 6 months (complicated and long story) and he thought i didn't want anything to do with him.

then 3 weeks ago we started dating and i guess during sex one night he told me (looking directly at me) that he loved me.
i guess it kinda freaked me out because i'm not sure i feel that way, and if i do, i'm kinda scared to say it cuz people use it so gratuitously and nonchalantly these days, it loses it's meaning if you don't do it just right. and i guess i don't wanna jinx things for myself.

i also sorta wonder if he was genuine about it, he's had time to get to know me and stuff, but it being so soon into the relationship just caught me off guard. but, um, anyway, he's not the first guy i've dated who's rushed into saying that, and i was just looking for input/discussion on the subject to see who else deals with this oddity.
