I'm not sure how to word this question. The man I'm seeing has recently told me that he loves me, I, however do not have the same feelings for him at this time. My feelings for him run deep, but I don't feel that I love him and also feel that love is a very strong emotion that shouldn't be thrown about.

Please help me, how should I respond to this? What should I say to him?

I went through a very similar thing a while back. The guy that I was with and have been with up until very recently, seemed to be totally besotted by me, unfortunately i couldn't return those feelings and because I didn't let him know for a while, I ended up resenting him and feeling really depressed. You are right about love not being something to take lightly and if u don't feel the same about them then that is your answer. Just say that although you are really flattered, you don't actually have the same feelings. You wouldn't want to lead him on by pretending you have as you value his friendship very much. Hope this helps. Good Luck

lil-haz agony auntHi,

You are right about the love part, on how it is a very strong emotion. Maybe you need to spend more time with this guy, tell him how you feel deep down and if he loves you he would understand that you need more time to feel that strongly about him. Your emotions for each other are very timid, you need to express yourself to him and not leave the poor man waiting, confused. If you feel you are being pushed into things then the best thing to do is express your feelings. Good Luck!
