I swear I need tons of help!

I am 13. A guy has justconfessed to me DIRECTLY that he loves me, and we have a lot in common,same allergies, same sisters with same names, we say stuff almosttogether at the same time all the time, and I like him. But how do iknow I like or love him? IS...

it by heart, or are there symptoms? Any way,I wish to talk to him and tell him I am not ready, but I am so afraid itwould break his heart, and he would refuse to be my friend. To bbehonest,. I'm not ready because it's against my religion. pls help.

you obviously like him or you wouldnt be stressing over this...love is something totally different that in my opinion can only happen over time but ifthis is about your religion...well I guess I've never understood religions...but I would go for it ...
