<human>: So I've been dating this guy he's 35 really loving, caring, and thoughtful but it's only been a month since we started dating. Heres the back storey i met him through ok cupid i normally dont go on those site however my cousin signed me up and posted a profile for me (Since she met her significant other and she thought she could find my prince charming). Well we ended up meeting had our first date it was amazing we had 2 more fates and everything was going well.

I've had a trip to France planned and booked way before I met him. So I told him about it 3 days before i actually leave. the day before he asks me to be his GF and I'm not a very lovey dovey girly girls I'm realistic. So I say yes because I have alot going on and that was not a talk I wanted to have before a trip. within the first week back from my two week vacation he tells me I love you. Mind you I don't say it very loosely at all. I didn't grow up in a I love you household it's more of a if you fall down get back up and try again. So I like him but I know I'm not ready to say it I'm still kind of feeling him out. 

how do i handle it? And how can i say it without sounding like such beast?

I still want to see him but I kind of think it would hurt his feelings. He seems like the guys that's ready to settle and get married but I'm still growing learning and finally on the right track in my career I'm 30 btw I know I'm not getting younger but it just seems like it's moving too fast.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Aaron said I love you 1 month into the relationship. Can I continue  the relationship without saying it back? What to do?
