Signing a card "Love"?

Ok, so I have been seeing a great guy for a couple months now. At first things were pretty casual but in the last few weeks we've become exclusive and have been spending a lot more time together... we see each other almost every day now. We've been having a blast, get along great and things are going so well with him its amazing. Well here is my question... my birthday was last week and he got me a card and signed it "Love," and his name. It has me sort of freaking out... does he think he loves me already or am I reading too much into this?

BTW, he is definitely a "manly man"... not a sensitive "girly man" type at all. :) Not overly expressive about his feelings, is what I'm getting at.

I usually just lurk but this has me puzzled enough to post... so what do you think?

Well, I am glad you posted. Welcome to the board. I think you shouldn't read much into it. I sign most anything or write love with no meaning. I know my guy about freaked when he heard me say it/ well type it in an email. Then later he say in a group I called one of the ladies love. So, I would be one out of habit to write in a birthday card Love even to associate friends. I even did it by habit in Christmas cards on year for co-workers because I had been doing it for those in the family. Just relax and go with the flow.

I wouldn't read that to mean that he's in love with you. He will say, "I love you." if he loves you.

I sign all of my cards "Love," Friends, co-workers, Christmas card recipients. They all get the "love" word from me.

Thanks guys. I figured it was nothing but needed a second opinion. I guess the reason it sort of freaked me out is because while I do usually sign cards to friends, etc, "Love," I would definitely NOT put that on a card to a relatively new S.O. simply because it could be misconstrued.
