How are we supposed to answer that?
There is no way that you can get inside his head. If he tells you he loves then accept that, don’t try to determine whether his love is exactly as much as your love for him. It is not something that can be measured – even poets can’t define it.
There is no way to measure these things. If the relationship feels good and healthy to you, allow more time and experience together to make the situation more clear to you.
Muster up a little security. Not everyone says “I love you” regularly. You should be able to tell by his actions.
Only if he says it with a German accent.
If he only tells you he loves when you are about to have sex – then he doesn’t.
And if the “95” in your name means “1995” don’t have sex with him. Period.
Nothing Ventured… Nothing Gained.
You have to risk to gain reward.
You’re in a relationship with him and have been for six months. By now I would hope that you guys could sit down and have a serious conversation about what you’re both feeling for each other. Sit him down and have a real conversation. Tell him how you’re feeling, and ask how he’s feeling. The only way you’re going to find out is if you ask,

You can always just ask him. No charge for that advice.
When my wife and i first started dating, i had some of these same thoughts. i knew we would marry each other, but i had to be absolutely sure she was the one and how she felt in her heart. one night, i asked her to write a letter to me, describing how she felt and what she expected in our future together. her letter blew my mind. i never realized that she had that deep of a feeling for me. she left no stone unturned. they more i read her letter, the deeper in love i fell for her. this letter totally convinced me that she loved no one on this earth, but me. my letter for her said almost the exact same thing. i promise this will work for you and for him, if only you two are dead serious about each other. you might just learn something that you never realized about him and his feelings for you. only a written letter will do, no email, no text message. we still have our letters to each other and we are still happily married to each other after all these years.

You need to have a talk with him about what the status of your relationship is. Are you seeing each other exclusively? Does it feel like a good quality love relationship?
Why are you so uncertain? Why don’t you ask him what he is feeling?
ask him… preferably write… explain yourself unashamedly…don’t hold back…
We as humans can interperate things differently, sometimes we read into things too much, sometimes not enough. The only way to know for sure is to ask.
I don’t think you can ever really tell if someone loves you as much as you love them, because finally, we can only inhabit our own brains. Part of being in a relationship is learning to trust your partner’s feelings for you. Also to learn to set reasonable expectations – what do you need in order to feel secure? what is he able to do to meet those needs? Talk it out together.
