I've been dating a guy for 3 1/2 months. We are in our mid 20s. We had gone to a park for a walk and ended up sitting down at a wooden table. After some small talk he takes a pen out of his pocket and writes "K + A = ..." then proceeds to draw a heart around it. This then initiated the conversation of "what are we" and us then becoming exclusive as a couple. But my question is what to think of the heart he drew around it? We haven't said those 3 little words yet, but I have been wanting to for the past couple weeks. I sorta get the feeling that he feels the same way I do but what if I'm wrong?

I would say to ignore small signs and look for the big ones. The heart he drew around your names might be an expression of his like towards you. But, what I would notice more is the fact that he wanted to take the relationship forward by being as an exclusive couple.

About saying the word 'I love you', I would wait for him to say that first. But if you feel secure enough about the relationship, no rule should apply and tell him :)
