he asked if i love him?

Why would he ask me this?

So we had further talks and he asked if i wanted to be his girlfriend, so woohoo we got there!

2 days later though, he sent a message asking if i love him.
I replied with "of course"
And he said he was trying to freak me out. Hes in his 30s...

Why would he ask me this? I cant believe that he was trying to freak me out.

He sounds like a bitch. Expect and emotional rollercoaster. How long have you been dating?

A few months. But we were engaged a few years ago and have a child.
So of course i love him

Comeon. People shouldnt be playing with each other feelings.

Maybe he was just fooling around ?

Do you really want to be with someone who plays stupid mind games?
