How do you handle the situation where person who says "I love you" when you haven't reached that point in the relationship and are not sure if you ever will? But you also are not ready to break-up with him yet.
Would it not be possible to simply ask for an elaboration of what's implied in the phrase, and on what basis was the claimed sentiment of love attained?
if i wasn't sure but wanted to keep pursuing the relationship seriously, i'd say it back. let's say you wind up marrying the person - do you want to look back and have the first "i love you" response be something other than "i love you too"? i wouldn't
of course the danger is that things don't work out and you have to break up, and then you've kind of led them on. but you know what... breaking up would suck anyway, no matter whether you said "i love you" or not
if you're sure you won't fall in love though, then break up with them. i did that once. it sucked, but i thought it was the right thing to do, rather than lead someone on when they are in love with you, but you know it's not going to get more serious

I can't lie to him. I was just silent and it was so very awkward. This has happened to me before and I have never been able to properly address the premature 'I love you'. Resentment, anger and a break-up usually follows but I don't want that to happen. I'm just not in love...yet. I can't lie and say that I am. I am so afraid that he is going to say it again today that I turned my phone off (and yes, I know that's immature).
