You could bashfully say, "It's so nice to hear those words again, but I just need more time before I can respond. I want my words to be sincere and it just takes me time to fall in love with someone. I hope you can understand this."

I am a man, and, if I had told the poster I loved her, the answer I would expect from her would be "I love you, too" or "I care for you but I can't tell you I love you". Forget about saying "at the moment", as this is very confusing and gives false hope.
This straightforward way of speaking is best. The man will become pushy if he gets a vague answer. No matter how bad it might seem, the honest, direct answer is BEST, by far. "Best" meaning "the option that produces less confusion, less pain, and less problems for the two parties".

This sounds like as if you are both relatively new together in this relationship. Assuming this is so in your shoes I would be more tempted to tell him that you are very fond of him but you are the kind of person who just doesn't fall in love too quickly. Each time you meet up you feel yourself getting closer and maybe you are beginning to fall in love with him but it will take time as far as you are concerned and you do not feel you are quite there yet.When he says it next time, maybe instead of thinking exactly what to say in response try something else. Just lean over and kiss him. I would doubt very much if he would have any objection to you doing this without actually saying anything.I wish you luck with this one as many ladies go through many relationships without ever hearing those three words uttered from their partner.

just be honest if he says i love you say something along the lines of "i really like you im just not yet sure if i love you and i dont want to say it unless i mean it" thats what was said to me and there were no hard feelings.
hope it helps
