Some people have love at first sight. Some people learn to love someone. Sometimes love grows and sometimes it dies a horrible bloody death. This makes it interesting.

It's understandable that him telling you he loves you so early freaks you out. You weren't ready to hear it, which tells me he doesn't read you terribly well. Or if he does, his feelings were just so intense he had to get them out. Whatever the case, you're not ready regardless of what's behind his words. I'd tell him that if I were you. If he really loves you, he can be patient.

What I wouldn't do is rush into something you're not ready for due to his feelings. Don't be pressured, take you time, and if he's the right guy, he'll pace himself for you.
