Ooooh, you've brought back such memories. My first boyfriend, it had been 4 months, we were on the phone. We're saying goodbye and he puts it out there: "I love you". I was in total shock. I stared at the phone, and not knowing what to do, hung up on him.
Poor guy.
Well, I ended up calling him back and doing the most awkward thing I've probably ever done in my 23 years: "Hey, um, yeah. I love you too. Uh, just wanted to, um... um...", and presently hung up again.
I did sort of love him... in a very young, 'tween' sort of way. I wish I had just said "thank you" in the first place and that would have been that. If you're not ready to say "I love you", don't!! Save it until it really, really means something. That will make it even more powerful.
Good luck, my dear!! We've all been there before.

Whether you do or don't, explain to her that you were shocked, cos if you said nothing regarding what she told you, she's probably going crazy wondering whether you feel the same or not. If you love her, tell her, if you don't, tell her you appreciate what she says but you're not ready to say it back yet.

A month and a half? That's a pretty short period of time. Ask her if she meant it - Do you think you love her?I think in young relationships, and as teenagers. We over use the word 'love'We think we know what it feels like, what it means, but half the time we really don't,but then again Love knows know age.. look inside your heart.Good luck
