We only hung out another couple of times before he asked me to be his girlfriend. I agreed, but it felt a little fast to me, in fact, at this time, he also told me he was in love with me. This was about a month into dating. Everything seemed ok, moving a little fast but ok, until the "in love" thing. To me, that felt like a red flag.
Feels like that to me too. I always worry about guys who want to rush things, that is a sign of a potential abuser.

He's already teared up twice in front of me this week, supposedly with tears of joy.
Supposedly.

It sounds like you don't trust him.

Quote:
I want to be excited,
But you're not.

Quote:
it feels like he is obsessed with me, and that freaks me out.
Another potential sign of an abuser, and another sign of your unease.

Quote:
I have mental illness in my family so I do not judge or label people by it. But now I do feel that is is acting very obsessed and compulsive over this relationship.
It isn't judging or labeling people if your assessment of their actual behavior is that it makes you uneasy.

Quote:
I'm certainly into him, but there is just something about how he acts that is sitting uneasy with me.
Your gut feeling, as mentioned by toolman, seems to be considerable unease.

Gut feelings deserve high respect and full attention.
Thanks for this!
