A few days ago, my boyfriend (of over 9 happy months) asked if I love him. I told him I don't know, mostly because I'm 17 and know that I am naive about relationships (he said this was a "smart" answer for a teenage girl). When I asked him how he would have answered if I had asked him first, he said that he wouldn't have answered because he'd be afraid of scaring me away. Does this mean he does love me but didn't want to come on too strong, thinking I might not feel the same? Are there other ways to interpret his answer?
