Dear Anyone,
I have been dating someone. I thoroughly enjoy his company. It was going great. Then he said the 3 words: "I love you". It was unexpected. We are not monogamous so I'm confused. Why didn't he make the relationship monogamous first? I let him know that there wasn't anything I can do with his words because of the nature of our relationship. I said I don't feel it was the next natural step to take. I was hoping he'd get the hint and move it to the next stage. Now there are mixed messages from him and I feel very uncertain and confused and scared.
Confused and frightened.
