How do you respond when someone says they love you when you do not feel the same?

Ditto lol
The only thing I could think of is to say I don't feel that way it's a little soon for me. Or you could ignore it was said.

Don't ignore it but show appreciation.
Appreciation will sweeten the pill of rejection. |

I've been put in this situation before as well and its really awkward! Maybe you could smile and give them a kiss? (Assuming you're in a relationship with them)

I started to type out the circumstances but its just too involved. Basically I was wanting a platonic friendship and said so but the guy wanted more and after three weeks he told me he loved me. I told him he couldn't love me because he didn't even know me yet but he insisted he did and got clingy and this went on for a few more weeks until I stopped answering his phone calls.

Thanks?
No, um...that's a really hard one. Do you think you COULD love the person and are just not there yet? I said it before and got back, "You're so sweet."

How about "I think you're a beautiful person" and maybe add "I'm just not ready for love yet".
Try not to leave someone hanging when they've mustered the courage to say "I love you". |

This happened to me once. I highlighted the things I appreciated about him first and then said that I was not ready to say it back. We went on a couple of more dates and I realized he could never be more than a friend. He wasn't happy about my reaction but later on he told me he was glad that I was honest. It's only fair to the other person to tell him/her the truth.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
