<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

He was really cool about it but basically he's not ready yet which I was 100% expecting.

I'm not even sure why I said it but for the past month I just couldn't stop thinking it whenever I looked at him. However, I did mean it and I have always been described as a pretty down to earth person.

We've really known eachother for 7 months (known of each other for a year and a half) and during that time became best friends. I moved into his family's home as a lodger to be closer to college and friends just before we actually realised we had feelings for eachother.. so we live together and barely spend time apart. 

But he says despite this he has never gotten bored or tired of my company, which is apparently unusual for him as it is with me.

I've never felt this way about anyone, and I didn't care if he didn't say it back. And yet it still hurts. He did say that he feels something and that he really, really likes me and enjoys spending time with me, but he just finds it difficult to understand his own emotions and needs more time. Which I honestly completely understand and expected and I have no problem waiting all the time in world. I told him he doesn't have to say it back at all, I just wanted to let him know. 

In some ways I'm still glad I said it, as I feel a weight off my chest. But there is still this annoying pain with the thought that he doesn't love me back which is completely idiotic and unreasonable.

I've just never been in love before. How do you cope with the suckiness of that feeling and the knowledge that you feel much stronger for someone than they do for you?
<bot>: Told my boyfriend I loved him. He needs more time and (understandably) doesn't love me back yet. How do you cope with the feeling of knowing you have much stronger feelings for someone than they do for you?
