someone says "I love you" in a newer relationship that you clearly are not on that level yet?

    Just tell them that you enjoy being with them but have not reached that emotional realm yet... or something to that effect.

    LOL! I didn't say "I love you". I said "I'd love you to give me a reach around." No wonder things got so awkward.

    Just explain the science of infatuation and hope that they take it well.

    Wait... Was their alcohol involved?


    Not that that would change my answer, but still. Important.

    Smile, gently push her head back down and continue watching the game.

    Ask if they know your last name, if not way too soon and just shake your head.

    * Pat them gentle on the thigh, and say I really like you too!

    * or tell them that's nice. I love me too!

    If that can't handle it.... or if all else fails.....

    RUN AWAY!!!

    It is most certainly always awkward.

    My ex said it whilst we were laid in bed... so I just smiled ... said "awwh" and hugged/kissed him. It was 100% awkward but I wasnt going to fake my feelings.... I think we'd been dating about 2 months at that point.

    I replied with, "okay" one time. I panicked under pressure.

    Maybe she was talking to your "pickle"

    I usually just say "Really? Well that's so sweet!." I don't say I love you to many people.
