How will I know?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a month and we both really really like each other; however i feel like my feelings for him getting stronger and stronger by the second.. To the point where i’m beginning to think I love him, but that scares me.

I’ve been in a few very bad/toxic relationships and i loves those people, so i’m scared that if i start to love him that’s not good.. He’s a great guy, he really cares about me, makes sure i eat at least 2-3 times a day, and checks on me regularly. My mom just got deployed to Cuba yesterday and I had been crying all day- and this man drives to my house at 11 at night to be there to hold me and kiss me and tell me I’ll be okay.

I wanna love him because he makes me feel so happy and cared for and appreciated, but how will I know it’s the good love ?

⚠️⚠️⚠️

UPDATE: He told me he loves me and that he’s been feeling that way and has known for awhile but is scared that things will go wrong like last time (his p.o.s. ex gf cheated on him and he caught her in the act). And when he said it, it honestly scared tf out of me because i’m scared, too, because of my past. But it also made my heart skip several beats because I love him back (is that weird that i don’t say ‘I love you too’, but instead i say ‘I love you back’?).
