Okay everything was going great with my boyfriend but.. he said "if i said i love u what would u say?"
I like him, he's nice and fun to be around but we have only been dating for 2 weeks.
he keeps pulling this crap. i don't know what to say
because he comes up with "What if I was being truly honest?"
Gee, we have only hung out about 4 times and we talk online a lot.. but how could you EVEN think you love someone already?
I'm not going to throw those words around. I don't even love him and honestly, i don't care if he loves me. He doesn't really know me.
What should I say?
He wants to know how to prove to me that he really loves me.
You are right in not wanting to just throw those words around; they should mean something when you say them. If he expects you to say it back, tell him that you don't know him well enough to love him, and to say that you do love him would be a lie.
I highly doubt he is feeling love for you. He likely feeling infatuation for you.
There is nothing you can really tell him to do to prove his love for you. If what he is feeling is love, then, first off, he wouldn't feel the need to prove it to you, and second, he wouldn't have to ask you how to prove it. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

dannisaysso answered Tuesday February 20 2007, 2:05 pm: well to me it doesnt really seem like you even want to be with him. I wouldnt either, hes being very forward and he sounds clingy. If you do want to continue things with him to give him a chance, tell him that your not comfortable with him saying all this. Tell him exactly what you asked me. Tell him that you dont want to talk about that anymore until you have hung out more and have been going out longer. If its not comfortable for you, he should know that. Tell him that he doesnt need to prove his love for you, you will be able to tell when your ready to accept it. =]
