I met this girl like 8 years ago in my tennis class, fast forward to now after talking on and off over those 8 years, nothing really memorable or interesting, we started dating recently, we've been on 3 dates and all of a sudden morning she texts:

Love You Baby

Dafuq do I say to that? I've though about:
- Did you mean to send that to me?
- That seems a bit sudden.
-
- Woah, moving a little quickly there!
- Thanks.

And yes, option 3 is to just let it be and not say anything. The last thing she texted me was a couple days ago, pretty much saying "let me know when you want to hang out next".

Do you want to be with her or do you want her off your back?

Don't let it ride. Be honest with the girl, at least do so if you're interested in continuing the relationship

I can't tell you how to proceed unless you tell me:

What she drives

Can she heel-toe shift

that wasnt a real "I Love You" - that might be a bit misconstrued. I have love for a lot of my friends. Dont say shit, hang out with her again and if she says those 3 words then you can worry. Hell I tell my close guy friends I love them too sometimes. And remember, this can be your response if you are a bassist...

Just go with a response to the previous text, eg. suggesting or asking about doing something over the weekend or friday night.

Play it off and see if she gets clingy from there.

She obviously likes you a lot, and she might even love you - but you can't be 100% certain just because she texted it. This could have been a casual "I really dig you", or it could have been a serious "Oh god I love you and I want to have your babies."

How do you feel about her? Might you be in love, or are you just enjoying her company? Answer back with plans for another date and see where it goes. Just don't be afraid to be honest with her.

You know, it might be the right response, but I just have a REALLY hard time ignoring the fact that she said the L word, not as in I love lamp or I love race car, she said "love you". The last thing I texted her was: "I'll see if I can think of something", meaning I'd think of something fun for us to do next time we hang out. The next thing most people say, even if you are dating them is not: love you baby.

But yeah, I could ignore it and just say: Want to hang out on and go ?

It's just so hard to move passed that without knowing if it was meant playfully or seriously.

dont sweat it literally. Dont respond to it at all. Ignore and keep on truckin with her. Make plans, take from there. I read into the semantics of it, but that is more casual of a L word use

Simple, send her a picture of a baby saying "Love you too Mama, can I have lunch now? I'm kinda thirsty..."
-If she sends you an oops wrong person: she doesn't want you
-If she says where do you want to go: she wants to go out with you
-If she sends you a tit pic: Fap?

01/23/2014 at 12:59

YES. All three.

I mean it sounds like you and her kind of know each other maybe pretty well kinda. But you also said you were talking on again off again for 8 years, and then suddenly dating, an only on three dates.

In my professional experience, anyone who says the "love you" bit and rather suddenly and unprovoked (as in first thing in the morning, not been dating for a while, never been said before); those relationships usually end with bricks through car windows, your favorite hoodie on fire, punctured tires, gratuitous lies about you having herpes, etc.

So yes, Just RUN

Stare at the ceiling until you get a follow-up text.

Yeah. That'd be my response :) But seriously speaking, if you're interested, you could throw in a sly reply. If you're not and aren't really looking for a serious relationship with her now, keep quiet or suggest a date as she wanted to know earlier.

Is it possible that she has friends that she was hanging out with (they were talking about you, obviously) and one of them took her phone and texted you that? The same thing has happened to a buddy of mine and that was what it ended up being.

She is training to be a yoga instructor.

Which makes pretty much all of that irrelevant to me.

:D

Lol thanks for the halp.

You know if someone else asked this question, I'd probably know to tell them exactly what to do. But I need a voice of reason when it comes to me personally, so thanks! At some point today I hope to pop into the bachelor party.

Hmm, I wouldn't rule it out. She has come out of the blue and said awkward stuff before.

Let that one be, but ask when she'd like to hang out again—i.e. just keep moving along at your normal pace, go on another date, see how things are going. You don't need to create a giant issue out of what could be, as others pointed out, a fairly casual use of the phrase, or intended for a different friend. Texts lack all context. Hang out in person and see what happens. And if you like her and want to keep seeing her, but she's moving too fast, say so, in person, kindly.

Hmmmm, yeah that's a tricky situation for sure. Personally, I wouldn't say anything but maybe later (soon) make plans to hang out and see if it gets brought up, and then take it from there. Keep us posted on what you end up saying/ what ends up happening.
