He said he loves me after only two days of dating. Does he really mean it?

Yes, of course he means it. After dating you for a whopping 48 hours this guy knows everything about you and loves you. Why not run on down to the justice o' the peace and get hitched right now? I mean, since he loves you and all.

Please.

Two days. How can you love someone after knowing her only two days? You can't. I'm sure you're a wonderful person, but Romeo here knows almost nothing about you: who you are, what you're about, where you come from, what you value, what you've been through, what your dreams are. Even if you did nothing but tell him about yourself for the last 48 hours straight, it's still not enough. Not even close.

Learning about another person takes time, and loving them -- really loving them, not just infatuation -- comes only from learning who a person is and what they are about. There's just no way to do that in two days or even two months. I think it takes years to really know someone, to see how they act and react in different situations and reveal their true character. I dated my wife for three years before we got married and was still learning things about her for years to come. Love takes time.

He might think he loves you after two days, but what he means is that he likes you and enjoys your company so far. Or maybe he's just saying it to get into your pants. Guys do that sometimes.

The good news is that he's clearly fond of you, and who knows, maybe you two will fall in love someday. Someday... as in, a few months or even years from now. Not next week.

I've often found (almost 40 and have been single most of my life) that these types of guys are into control. Just keep your eyes open. The control aspect can turn scary in a nano-second. In my opinion, he said that to hook you. I've dated many like this and once, after trying to get rid of the guy, came home from work and he had broken into my house. Scary.

Thank you for asking this question and the answer.I personaly have been in the same situation he loved me before he met me and after three weeks asked me to marry him.Guess what it felt like pre meditated murder!I said yes and abandoned my life to be part of his three months later Im jobless,Homeless and desperate.

Please always take your time it doesnt hurt and from my past experience Im definately looking foward to starting a new and being patient about love and life.Go slow always a rush easily leads to a crush....
Sweet tidings and slow moves...
Take care.

He may "love" you in a physical attraction/chemistry kind of way, but I don't think it is possible that he loves you in the enduring, all-encompassing, unconditional way that is usually associated with that term. Not yet anyway. He may reach that point someday, but he's not there yet.

My husband and I dated for four years before he asked me to marry him. Then we were engaged six months before we got married. Even now, after being married for 24 years, there are things he does that surprise me, and I occasionally learn something new about him I didn't know before.

You don't have to know everything there is to know about a person to love them, but you do need to know more than you could have learned in two days.

Yes, unless ou have been friends for a while and he was desperatly in love with you before you even started dating, it's either empty words to get you to bed, or he expressed his fondness for you in a clumsy way.
(or maybe he took some ectasy just before?)

Also, some very nice words about long term relationships from both Daisy and Cary :D

NO ! Don't be naive , ask him what his idea or definition of Love is ? And if so, how could he possibly feel that deeply after 2 days. I'd be wary of someone casually saying those words or else they lose their meaning. Before saying it, my boyfriend and I actually expressed what our defintions of Love was. I wanted to make sure we had the same philosophy.

Someone gave me the best advice regarding relationships, the first 3 months when you meet someone = lust, chemistry, like, then the following 3 months you decide if you Love them, then the next 3 months, you decide if you love all of them including the negative or flaws.
