Wow, that's a long phone call. I hope you're using a headset. My ear gets sore after an hour on the phone, much less three weeks.
Is he for real? Yes--real ridiculous. He doesn't know you well enough to love you after three days. Infatuation, maybe; love, no. He's either a giddy schoolboy who just met the first girl he's ever really liked, or he has an ulterior motive. Was the declaration of love followed by a request for a naked photo?
Whatever his reason, he doesn't love you. He might think he does, but he doesn't. He might love you someday, but not after three days.
Although I believe that people can feel a connection in a short period of time and chemistry can even be instant, it's not likely that he loves you after three weeks' of phone conversations. If he hasn't met you IRL then he's certainly jumping the love broom a little too quickly. Cary's absolutely correct when he says "he might think he does but he doesn't."
Love the tag "I love you now do me" -- especially since it follows "bullshit." :)
but what if you have been dating irl and everything for three weeks?
"he might think he does but he doesn't."
I don't believe it is possible to love someone until you fully know them. You can love things about them, or like them a lot, or have the hots for them, but love takes time. Real love is informed: you've seen the person in all kinds of settings and situations, and you have a full understanding of what s/he is about. That takes time--more than three weeks or even three months.
The only exception is children. I loved my daughter the moment I laid eyes on her. But that's a different kind of love.
No, I don't agree, especially since you can never fully know someone.
But for some reason, I feel like you don't really know if love someone unless you've endured some sort of emotional/intellectual tempest with them. Love is sort of a mixture of affection and endurance.
Romeo and Juliet duuhh stupidz... But seriously, there could be an unpredictable potential between you two, while you're assuming you know real love without knowing real love, and declare you love the significant other, without realizing/grasping understanding of the potential. Don't you love saying love, love itself, and variables?
