He said ‘I love you’ after sex!!

So I have been with my boyfriend for 6/7 months now... we are a very easy going couple we don’t do soppy or romantic very often!

But the other day we had just finished sex (tmi I know sorry🙈) we was kissing in bed and he was still on top of me and he just came out with I love you ... at the time I was shocked that it came out his mouth but at the same time my heart stopped!

Do they mean it more when you’ve just had sex or do you think he’s just saying it?
