I've been in that similar situation before over this summer where this guy said I love you after three works, talk about a horse-kick to the jaw! I was stunned, we had only been dating for three weeks! When this guy and I, we'll call him N started out I told him I was leaving for school at the end of summer, basically letting him know it's not going to last, a heads up. I think he said I love you so quick to try to get me to consider doing long-distance with him, which I was in no way shape or form going to do. I was sick of him after two months, the crying, the over-attachedness of our relationship. I broke it off before the summer ended and he bawled his eyes out for an hour before I left, I didn't shed a tear. Maybe
N did mean it when he said it, or maybe he's just a baby. I dunno, I hope that doesn't happen to me again, it totally weirded me out, especially since that February I had broken up with a guy I had been with for two years prior, whom mwaited six months to say I love you. Dunno, everyones different.
Did you say it back to him?
My thoughts would be that maybe he thinks since y'all have such a history that it's a built up passion over time so the "love" doesn't take as long as it might otherwise have. Or maybe it was in the heat of the moment? (If it was during sex?)
If you're worried you should talk to him about it, in person. Just say hey I had some stuff on my mind, mind if we talk and spill out everything so he knows how you feel. If he's a good guy he'll understand and since he said he loves you I'm sure he will.
Hope I didn't drag on too much! Good luck
