text: when you and a boy have been talking for a while and he finally says he love you should you say it back? why? i was just wondering because it happen to me and i played it of by laughing..... you should only say it back if you mean it..........if you don't love him yet you can just say "thanks" or "that is nice" or something like that......laughing may have actually hurt his feelings......but don't say it if you don't mean it.
