<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Hello again,

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite subs, as my current relationship is my *first* real relationship, so I feel a little deficient in knowing how to navigate issues that come up.

I posted earlier about another issue between my BF and myself ( and I have been reading the replies and have been thinking I should get some feedback on something else that has been on my mind.

As the title says, my BF and I have been "officially" together about 7 months. Since I am new to relationships (I've always had a weird phobia about titles/labels, so everything before him was just a FWB that sometimes had feelings involved), I guess I don't really know how to handle some of this stuff.

A couple of weeks ago, right before we fell asleep, I told my boyfriend (as casually and as awkwardly as I usually come off when discussing my feelings) that I loved him. This was major to me, as I've *never* told any other guy this before, and certainly was not expecting to be the first one to drop the L-bomb.

He responded: "I've been having similar feelings about you..."

Now, I've talked to some friends and my counselor about this, and they all seem to think it is a good sign, even if he didn't say "I love you too." 

So was I too quick to say it? It's how I feel. I don't want him to say it if he doesn't mean it, even if they are just words. But I'm wondering if he cares as much about me as I care about him?

Thanks in advance
<bot>: I told my boyfriend I loved him, and he responded he felt similarly about me, without actually saying he loved me too. Am I overthinking things?
