Is it emotional manipulation if a man told me he loves me before he even told me he had feelings or asked me out??

I was going to say not really until i realised you said before he even asked you out. I feel like he's playing games by saying he loves you but also still not solidifying his feelings or this relationship

Almost 5 month. We both have feelings for eachother but haven’t done much more than casually hangout

You are in a relationship that started as a hookup right? Did you guys talk at all about having feelings for eachother? Or was it straight to I love you after a normal hookup

we had been hooking up and going on dates for a few months before he told me kinda out of the blue one time when we’d been drinking that he was kinda crazy about me, and never expected to feel this way. then we became official and it wasn’t until a couple months into the relationship that we said i love you

See my problem is he said I love you completely out of the blue and like I wasn’t even sure if he had feelings for me or not. Idk it’s just so shocking to have that dropped on you after a hookup

I just feel kinda blindsided and pressured to love him back when I don’t feel that way about him yet

he probably does genuinely feel like he loves you if he said it, from what you’ve given us i don’t see any reason to believe he’s acting with any malice or intent to manipulate you. if i were you id have a very honest raw conversation about where you’re at. you both need to talk about what it is that you want and where your current emotions are

i used to be the same way. you just gotta go for it and do the best you can. sometimes it helps to write down some stuff you’re feeling just putting it on paper to figure out how you truly feel. better to organize your thoughts before you try to talk about them. it gets easier with practice too
