I hope I'm not the only one... I've been dating my boyfriend for not even a month yet and he's already telling me he loves me. He actually told me the first day it was "official". In his defense we've been friends for years so it's probably not sudden to him. The last few days I've been freaking out! I told him I want to continue to take baby steps and that I'm not going to tell him I love him till I actually feel it. I don't come from a family that says I love you. I've only ever told two men that I dated that I loved them and they both hurt me badly in the end.
