Question Posted Wednesday September 22 2010, 3:23 am
alright, well im 19/f, will be 20 next week, and he is 21.
a bit of background info - we met last summer in panama city beach while i was in town with my family. he lives about an hour and a half from there, and drove down every night after we met to see me and hang out. we liked each other, stayed in touch for a bit after my vacation ended, but then stopped talking. i was fixin to start college here in Georgia, and he was working, and we just lost touch.
fast forward to this year. i went back to panama city with my family just like last year, and a few weeks before i had texted him out of the blue saying i'd be back down and that he should come see me. sure enough, just like last year he drove down almost daily for the whole week to hang out with me and it was just like last year. we'd hang out all night, hold hands, kiss, and started to like each other all over again.
well this time, we've stayed in touch, talking & texting all day and night since the end of july, our feelings have gotten so much stronger, and we've been officially together for a few days shy of a month. he's made the 4 hour drive to see me and stay with me at my apartment at school a fe times, and i've driven down to florida to stay with him and his family. he's SO sweet to me, always telling me how he doesn't wanna lose me, how much i mean to him and how i'm the best thing thats ever happened to him and he's so happy he has me now.
welllll, he told me he loves me a couple weeks ago. i wasn't expecting it so soon, and i haven't said it back, but i think i do love him. i'm happier than i've been in a long time, and i want to tell him but part of me is scared because of the short time we've been together and i dont want to be hurt like i have been before.
the only other guy i've loved was a guy that i dated for 3-3.5 years when i was 15, which we also said i love you really early, but that was my first love.
i just dont know if its too soon? i feel like time-wise, it is. but i feel like i do love him, and we're pretty serious about each other. he's seriously considering moving out of florida and finding a job in the town where i go to school. i'm thinking about telling him next week when he comes back to stay with me, but ahh i'm kinda nervous :) does it seem like its too soon?

Give it plenty of time before you let the cat out of the bag. Besides, how do you know if you really love him? Next week you could be singing another tune. It's just oo soon to tell. The both of you are still in the infatuation stage.
