What It Means When He Says He Loves You After One Week
The Situation
"He said he loved me after one week of dating"
The Brutal Truth
Saying 'I love you' after just a week is often an emotional manipulation tactic. It’s a way to keep you hooked while revealing a lack of true commitment. It’s a classic form of love bombing, designed to create dependency early on.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person may interpret this as a good sign and cling even more, fearing any rejection. This mindset often leads to sacrificing their needs and boundaries, mistaking fast declarations for genuine connection. Trust yourself instead; slow and steady wins the race.
