First Boyfriend moving too fast

Gabby

Hey ladies. I’m 20 yo and my bf is 24. He’s an awesome guy but he is moving way too fast and I need tips on how to approach the “let’s slow down.” He’s my first boyfriend so this is all so new to me. (I’m not his first, fyi). But ok for background: we’ve been dating for 2 weeks. We’ve been physical which I’m fine with. But last night he told me he loved me. Ladies I nearly shit myself. It’s not that I don’t love him it’s that, as you know, those words carry a heavy load. So please: advice on how to say “slow down” without coming off like I wanna break up. Thanks
