I recently started dating this guy we'll call him Adam. When I say recently I mean like we started offically dating last night, I've known him for about two weeks. Last night we were talking online and he suddenly uses the L word and said I was the girl he had been waiting on his whole life! I am only 18 and nowhere near ready for that word and we don't even really know each other yet. He has had tons of girlfriends so I know its not cause I am his girlfriend. Does anyone have any idea why he would suddenly say this.

Although it *does* depend on the context in which it was used, it's still a concern.

Some people just *know* when the right person comes along. My boss' secretary's husband met her on the Friday night and proposed on the Sunday. They've been together for more than 30 years. However, THAT is VERY rare.

Perhaps your guy just got caught up in the mood or the emotion, but one has to wonder why he's so sure when he hardly knows you at all.

What was your response?
