He said he "loved" me...but then he said he "liked" me and I now have doubts

Question - (29 November 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 6 December 2011)
A female United States age 36-40, *ynchrohobbit writes:

This is both incredibly neurotic and potentially important. I have been dating my current boyfriend for four months; we met on a dating site, immediately clicked, have great sex, and almost always spend our weekends together (with other people included). About two weeks ago I finally said "I love you" after a long period of back and forth about whether or not I should. He immediately said it back. Fantastic, right?

Fast forward one week, at the bar, and out of nowhere he says "You really like me, don't you?" I was caught off guard and just said yes, then moved on. What in the hell does that mean? If I had had the presence of mind I would have repeated that question back.

Two scenarios: one, he is just confirming it and happy to hear me say it; two, he is worried that my level of commitment is above his and isn't actually thrilled about it. The following day, before we parted ways for the week, he said "I love you" and I responded in kind. My previous boyfriend was bipolar and essentially wore his emotions on his sleeve, so I have no idea how to interpret more reserved male behavior. Any help would be appreciated.

synchrohobbit agony auntAlthough the title to the question is completely misleading and the question probably too confusing, still totally right that I am being just too nervous about the situation.

So_Very_Confused agony auntYou are overthinking this.

you love him and told him

he either loves you or likes you very very much and you are together on weekends with friends so you are part of each others lives...

sounds like at 4 months it's going great...

no need to interpret his WORDS... look at his actions....

and relax and enjoy.

You're thinking into it way too much. He obviously likes you. Accept it and stop looking for problems, just focus on being happy.
