I care about him been with him for 8months and confessed he loved me. but at the same time I dont know what that feeling of love is. is it me? Hes great but its taken so long for me to get to know him I feel like im not there yet. I told him i love him back, I dont want to hurt him hes been hurt before and so have I so its hard for me to do this.. im afraid hes going to find out I may not be feeling 100% in love with him. I think about him alot. but I also think about how young I am or that i might be missing out. what should I do?

If you're not feeling it, if you're questioning if you are too young, then you need to re-think. You have made it clear that you don't think you love him. When it comes down to it, if you feel it, you say it. You can't instruct someone on how love is supposed to feel. When you know, you know. I think you need to be honest with this guy. You are leading him on, and it is completely unfair. Still, it's been 8 months, and trust me, tons of people aren't necessarily in love after 8 months. Honesty is the best policy in matters of the heart. He may be hurt, but it's better than being lied to.
If you feel like you'll be missing out, then a relationship just isn't for you. I don't know how being in a relationship makes people miss out on life -- unless they consider a huge part of life to be sleeping with every man you know, and not wanting a committed relationship. If you don't want one, don't have one. If you don't love him, tell him.
1if you have doubts as to whether you are in love with someone then the answer is NO, youre not. you shouldnt have said it just to appease him, cuz now he's going to be more hurt by your actions and the fact that youre going to regret saying that to him. you should have been straight up with him and let him know that while you care about him youre still getting to know him and let him decide what to do with your lukewarm feelings.
but in all honesty, if you don't love your boyfriend by 8 months then what are you still doing with him? thats a significant amount of time to get to know someone and decide if you love them. i know everyone is different but apparently you two are already on 2 completely different pages in your relationship and you can't just keep saying yes to things you don't feel just because you "dont want to hurt him". i'd rather someone hurt me and tell me the truth then BS me for awhile just to tell me what i want to hear and have it blow up in my face later on. just sayin.
2Love is a son of a b*tch. You can think you're in love then suddenly realize ooops you're not. If you have doubts then its safe to say you are not in love. Love just happens naturally and you don't question it. It just is. Please don't ever tell someone you love them just to spare their feelings. Honesty is always the way to go when it comes to matters of the heart. Think about this, what hurts more? Love that is never given or love that is taken away?
3Has this been worked out? I would tell him you don't know. This guy is going to feel a world of hurt if you continue on. It not easy but you should let him know you're not exactly on the same page.
