I told him I love him?..

We been going on dates since October and it honestly feels like we been a couple ever since day one, yesterday he asked me what r my feelings towards him and I said I was catching feelings and he was like what kind of feelings.. and end up telling him that I love him.. is it too soon since we are not officially dating? Just need an advice, he didn’t say it back but he said the reason why he’s not asking me out is bc I’m holding back onto certain things.. so idk if it was ok for me to tell him .. btw we r both 24
