He says he loves me... but he just got out of a relationship. I've liked him forever and now that he said he loves me... I'm not sure if I love him back... :confused: I don't know if he really really loves me... what should I do?

Um... you should give him a chance. And in the process, test is love

I have a few questions first, since you did not tell us much.

When did he say he loved you?
What agegroup are you both in?
What was it you 'liked' about him before?

You are right in doubting his love for you, especially if he just broke up and is on the rebound. He should take time to heal from the last relationship before rushing into another. And this is what I think he is doing if he knew that you liked him from the start - maybe he is not really serious about the 'love' bit. So, don't rush into an intimate relationship with him yet.

So, what should you do? --- Tell him he needs time to get over her and that during this time you and he can do neutral fun things together and get to know each other before going too far. If he accepts that, then you might have a chance together. If he does not accept you wanting to wait, then he just wants a fast replacement for her and that would not be fair or respectful toward you. It takes a long time to learn to love someone, and everything about him - saying I love you can sometimes just mean 'lust' unless you really know each other and share a lot in common.

No matter which way you decide, I wish you luck and hope that he does prove out to be a good guy with real feeling for you.

Better safe than sorry.
