"Now that we're just friends. . .

[The Stranger]

I feel like I can tell you this. I love you."

Has to be one of the strangest statements I've ever heard in my life.

The person who said it was the girl from this thread.

The day after my last post on that thread, we laid on my bed and kissed and hugged and stuff for about an hour. Basically, that's as far as things got as far as the, "How far did you go?" thing goes. But we got really close really fast.

After about two weeks of that we let each other know that we were getting too close, too quickly, and that we need to put things on hold for a while. That's when she uttered the statement above.

Don't laugh. This is the first interesting thing to happen to me in regards to women in years. We like each other a lot, but feel like we need to wait a while. BTW, I did recipricate her statement about fifteen minutes later.

Am I a dumbass for giving a crap about this? Should I be putting myself out there for other women in the meantime, or does this sound like some strange kind of commitment?

She is awfully young, so how much stock should I put in her "love?" She did say that this was the first time she said, "I love you," and meant it in a really long time.

A rule of thumb I always use: If you don't know if she loves you, she doesn't.

I've made eight posts in the past two weeks. I'm hardly cluttering the boards.

I got some good responses last time, so I thought I'd try again. Is there really a problem?

If you both feel so strongly I think it is lame to do this whole "slow down" thing. Just enjoy it, she might be the "one".

If she really is the "one," she will still be the "one" in a year, no?

Slight kissinng and hugging for two weeks is moving too fast? I don't understand the "slow down" thing either.
