<human>: So I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for about a month now, but we were seeing dating exclusively for about a month before that. We go to university together so we are apart for the summer. Went down to London this weekend to visit him for his birthday, met his family and friends from home and it all went really well.

One morning I told him I was really falling for him and his reply was "awww thanks, you're lovely too" which was a bummer. For the past fortnight or so I've been thinking that I am starting to fall in love with him but get worried that I'm getting ahead of myself and too emotional (I tend to fall for people very quickly and don't really trust my emotions that much because of it) then I convince myself that I shouldn't tell him incase he doesn't feel the same yet and in case I'm moving too fast.

I really really wanted to say it but instead "just thought I'd let you know that I'm really really falling for you" came out, I thought ok cool at least I've gotten some my feelings out kind of and when he replied with that I just felt kinda upset. 

He's not really a soppy/romantic kind of guy so that may be a factor, I just didn't know how to reply. First thing I said was "did you just say thanks?" then we just kinda went back to being sleepy then changed conversation which in retrospect wasn't the best reply haha, now I don't know whether to apologise or what. I always tend to apologise for being soppy 

**About a month ago he casually told me he loved me whilst drunk**, I've been waiting for a time to express my feelings for a while now since I hadn't seen him for about 3 weeks so I was kinda embarrassed to get that response

anyone been through the same/have any advice?

additional info which may be of use: We've been had pretty much exactly the same experience with relationships - our first ones lasted 3 years so its not as if he hasn't been in a serious relationship before

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Me: "I'm really really falling for you" Boyfriend: "Aww thanks, you're lovely too" huh?
