IMHO Something seems to be not right. You have never met. Just me here, but I would not accept money or gifts from this person. The declaration of love seems inappropriate at the least and a bit scary. I would put the brakes on. (again, this is just me) Good luck.

Why are you accepting money from him? It feels like you might be using him.
I think you need to back it off because he is going to feel used if he keeps giving you money and gifts and then you call it off.

NEVER tell someone “I love you” IF YOU DON’T MEAN IT!!! It’s kinder to say nothing than to give them false hope!!! I agree with the others that you shouldn’t be using him for his money or his gifts. You change boyfriends frequently so you should really take it slow with this guy as he’s already been hurt really bad by his ex & you shouldn’t add to his pain!!!

Is this the same guy you were asking about 2 weeks ago?

^^^ I was wondering the same thing!!!

You may have accepted gift money way too soon. Seriously though there shouldn’t have been any money given nor accepted.

Perhaps “Love” to him is “Lust” not Love,as that happens well after many months ( 7 I am told) when the honeymoon phase ends and reality hits.
He may be a possessive person and by you taking his gifts may feel that you owe him!
I had a boyfriend say that after only three weeks and realize now after three years that he possibly said that to get closer and “trust” him more. I should not have as he stayed at my place rent free for a year and a half and apparently a few other women two.He is a perpetual couch surfer at age 53 yrs old and Still is travelling around the World on someone else’s dime.He was charming and kind and I know now , that is how he works women.
Karma will catch up with him one day.To this day I still wonder “If ” he actually cared or loved me as he stated? But I have closure now ( myself) after understanding that I needed a partner that ‘loved” me as much as I did. He emailed once to get back together and have “Fun” and I told him that that was the problem..Fun and Games for him while I was serious…my mistake in not having good boundaries, but now I do. So it was a lesson well learned , too bad One had to get hurt. I have closure on that one and no chance of him getting back into my life again, as once is enough. Beware of game players out there.
Check online game players in relationships and how to avoid.
Oh yes after three weeks when he stated that “he thinks that he loves me”..I answered ” when you know for sure ,let me know as its too soon to know that”?

Different people mean different things when they use worlds.

Different people have different attachment patterns.

Different people have different levels and types of emotional and relational development. He’s only 21 and has had some difficult relationships.

Online relationships tend to become a new/different relationship after meeting someone in person.

It’s extra-hard to get what’s really going on with someone when you’re not communicating in person. We have a tendency to fill in the missing senses with our imaginations and project ourselves into them, and to not be able to distinguish the difference.

Try asking him what he meant by that some time.

i have a “male friend” who has NEVER been a boyfriend. We have been “just friends” for close to 30 years. The one thing that I’ve learned about him is that whenever he tells me that he loves me, there IS going to be a followup of some sort of favor. He’s either needing money, or a ride that is out of my way, or a place to stay for a few days. I learned this early on in the friendship & as soon as he says it I get ready to say NO to his “I need you to help me with…” that ALWAYS follows!!! I can’t even get insulted because he does this to ALL his friends!!! So be aware that by taking his money & his gifts that there is a good chance that he feels that you now belong to him & he may soon become overly possessive!!! That’s when the relationship becomes dangerous!!!
