 "do i let him..."
you can't LET or NOT let him. He's his own person and has the right to his feelings. He should not have to censor his feelings for you or keep them from you.
YOU do not have to say it back if you do not feel it.
my boyfriend when I say "i love you" often says "thank you" and he means it.... he's just not ready to say "i love you too" at that moment...

 Honestly whether or not you allow your boyfriend to say he loves you is up to you. If you are ok with it, just tell him that it is nice to hear those words but you don't feel the same. Make sure to let him know that you do like him and how much you like him. But, if you are uncomfortable with it, tell him. Say what you said here. Say that you are both young and may not know exactly what love is and you would prefer to wait a bit until you say that to one another. If he truly cares about you, he will try to see things from your point of view.
I do applaud you for being so level headed in this situation. It is great that you are aware this may not be love. So many people in your age group say I love you even though they don't know what it really means.
Good luck with this.
