What do you do when you've been dating a guy for 4 days and he says he loves you?

My friend has been dating this guy for 4 days and he said he loved her. Over text nonetheless! She does not know what to do. Please help!

Say thank you. How old is your friend? He probably didn’t mean it in the real sense of ‘i love you.’ “Luv” and its variations have become very friendly terms over the last several years.

If your friend is weirded out, she should just say thanks and move on. No reason to make an issue out of it unless he does.

I’d think…oh crap not again :-) and then run wildly in the opposite direction

Definitely don’t say I love you back….. Unless you have known the person for a long time as friends, and you feel the same way….. if he meant it that way….
but this just sounds kind of fishy…. like he wants you in the pants (your friend I mean), don’t be fooled! I had a guy tell me he loved me too, we are not even together and his friend was my ex boyfriend…. we’ve know each other for quite a while…. he said ‘i love you’ twice so far…. and I said to him maybe his feelings are just new and exciting and that’s why he feels like he loves me…. but then i told him let’s get to know each other better. but he was pretty determined about trying to get me to go out with him, he said he would wait as long as I need to feel ready to get into anther relationship… but i’m pretty cynical about guys now… and your friend should take it slow…

Text him back…. :-\

Text him back “I hope you mean the “I love ice cream” kind of love.”

Run far away. He probably tells everyone he dates that he loves them in the first week.

I agree with @lynneblundell @Zen_Again and @chyna . Run, do not walk, away from this guy. Can you spell predator? He wants one thing and it has nothing to do with real love.

Run like hell. That’s some scary shit.

I would wait until he says it in person. And then, if she feels the same way, say it back. If not, just have her explain that she’s not at that level in the relationship yet.

Some people feel deeply very fast. But I would be cautious.

Hold on to your pants really tight, because he’s probably trying to get down them!

Run…. gross.. People just seem to throw those words around so easily.. They use to mean something..

I’m going to guess that this is one of those guys who get s anew girlfriend every time he loses one. Not really a player, but more of someone who’s really desperate and love-deprived. Run away.

How old is the guy?

rentluva5256's avatar

The guy is a junior and my friend is a freshman.

nebule's avatar

well that explains everything!

Janka's avatar

It does explain something. ;)

Anyway, there’s basically four possibilities I can think of to explain what’s happening. 1) The guy is, like people suggest, someone to get away from, because he says this to everyone just to get in their pants. 2) The guy is someone fairly inexprienced who is really excited of having found someone they like and being overeager. 3) The guy is looking for a girlfriend to love him, because he is desperate for love, and the “I love you” actually means “I want you to love me”. 4) The guy and the girl have known each other as friends for a long time, and he’s been in love with her for ever and ever, and now just can’t hold it back any longer.

If your friend is freaked out, he should probably tell the guy she is freaked out and to take it a bit slowlier. If she otherwise likes him and it is not probably 1), then if he is able to take her into account and back off a bit, there’s no reason they could not continue dating. If he however isn’t, then it’s probably not going to work out in the long term.
