My boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 months now. Everythings has been great, but I feel we are moving too fast (actually, he has been moving too fast) We were friends for like 2 years before we started dating, and I KNOW he had a crush on me since we met. I don't know if because of that reason he's way ahead of me in the relationship. When we were at our 2 1/2 months-3 months in our relationship, he was talking already of living together (he made clear that within time aka next year) he told me he wants to marry me, etc.... all the good things a girl dreams of when she grows up. We've been saying to each other 'I love you' for the last 2 months, but now he is saying 'I LOVE you' (as in love with me). I'm not ready yet to say I LOVE you. The first time he said it, I said it too, because I didn't want to stay quiet (I know, my mistake), the second time he said it, I smiled, hugged and kissed him, and told him he was amazing.... Now, he recently said it again, and its making me feel under pressure, because I know he wants to hear it from me too (and yes, I said it again, because the pressure got me) but I'm just not ready for it. I don't know how to tell him in a nice way I'm not on that stage right now. I thought we would have gotten it when I didn't say it back the second time, and because when I said it, I waited a few seconds (that probably felt like minutes) and I said it awkwardly...
advices please??
