Men usually fall in love quicker, that's completely normal. The problem is 5 months is enough for you to be more emotionally invested in him.

 

I also feel like the guy comes off too strong and, whether you realize it or not, it kinda scares you away. Guy needs to keep it cool. "Thank you for being my girlfriend" is an example of going too far. It's a very usual turn off for women.

 

You may want to consider breaking up. If it's been 5 months already and you don't feel something nearly as strong as he does, you could be wasting his time and yours.

And the truly messed up thing is this: somewhere down the line, you could meet someone who will put you in his position (hopelessly in love, that is). You could meet someone you feel crazy about, and the more time you spend with this guy the more it will hurt when you end things.

 

Don't go jumping the gun, though. Maybe you just really do need a little more time for your feelings to grow. In the meantime, tell him you want to take things slow. Let him know he needs to back off a little. It could be this smothering attitude of his that wont let your feelings grow. Hope I helped :)

 

ps. I'm not bringing all the sex stuff into the table. I don't think its really making any difference in this particular situation, especially since you both know you want to wait. It's up to you and we should all respect that; none of our businees. I don't know why it's being brought up so much in your thread.

 

It's being brought up because sex is a major driving force for her bf to want to rush into getting married.

 

You see it all the time with young Christians. Getting married because they so desperately want to have sex (I was raised in a Pentecostal church).
