I need some advice. (DCC, don't worry about responding to this one, I'll give you the day off
)
Not 100% particular to online dating, since my relationship is well past the online dating phase, but since that was how it originated and I respect some of the posters in here, I'll give it a shot.
My and my gf have gotten extremely close extremely fast. Everything has been smooth and great and a lot of times I find myself wondering how the hell this is my life right now. Nonetheless, I have a bad feeling she is going to drop the L-bomb some time soon. There's a few reasons why I suspect this, most importantly being that the other day we were texting and she said something really witty and I responded "Grrrrr why do I like you so much," to which her response was "I knowww, me too!"...."Well, actually a little more than like...". There are a few other warning signs but I think you get the picture.
Obviously we've known each other for only 3 weeks, and although we've spent a ton of time together, opened up to each other pretty deeply and whatnot, I'm not an idiot and know that AT BEST we are in the middle/late stages of infatuation, let alone falling in love, let alone being in love.
If/when she does say it prematurely, I don't think it's really any kind of red flag or dealbreaker or anything of the sort, more or less just her feeling very strongly for me and not quite taking the time to carefully discern the nuances of these feelings.
Never been in this situation before as in the past I was always the one to say it prematurely, but lets just say I've learned from my mistakes.
So, if/when the situation arises, how the hell do I handle it? My main concern is making sure she knows that I am still as into her as she is into me. And my main question is do I bring up my little analysis that it is probably just infatuation on her part at the moment, or do I take it at face value and just explain my own position?
