When someone you’re dating says “I love you” but you don’t feel the same way, it’s always best to respond with great care and consideration for the other person’s feelings.

Mix Kindness, Empathy And Gentleness With Truth

Kindness, empathy, gentleness mixed with the truth about how you feel is generally the very best policy.

I would do my very best to be upfront with him and say "That I think that he's a nice man and all but I don't feel the same about him.Hoping that he understands.

Hello wave

It all depends on the circumstances?

Is he texting? Or in an email?
Is he phoning?

In which case I'd just ignore it and change the subject and see if he keeps repeating it..dunno

Is he saying it in a moment of passion? Then I'd think he's just getting carried away.
During those moments some people often say things they don't really mean dunno

Now...if it's during a meal or a walk and he's looking straight into your eyes...well...then he must be getting serious !!

Someone telling you they love you to soon is not a compliment, they do not know you well enough to tell you that. They only love the idea of you.
