No. If you like him, its okay. Maybe he lost his cellphone or something. Don't be too pushy, wait for him to return the text, or to call you. You already now how he feels because he has told you before, so he has no need to return the message saying that he feels the same way because you know he does.
Wait and you'll see. Don't worry.

You sounded fine. Remember that he did tell you FIRST of his feelings toward you. Because he took the first step, then it is ok for you to respond. Allow him to lead the relationship. Don't be in a hurry to move the romance any quicker than what he's comfortable with. Learn to really listen to him and read him well, so that you don't step over the line.
Thus far, you are doing fine. He did say that he's pretty busy, so just let things lie for now. He will contact you when he's "not busy", so he must be on some projects right now.
You sound young, and with youth comes some degree of impatience. Tell yourself you're 10 yrs older than what you are and conduct yourself as such. You will feel more mature, confident, and comfortable in your relationship with him.
Give him room to breath. He'll thank you for that.
Good Luck, Honey!

Um...don't get upset over an unreplied text message. He could not have gotten it, or since you say he's working all the time he could very well just be busy. If you're that concerned about telling him something, CALL him, don't send a text message.

Absolutely not. It's 100% okay to tell them how you feel. Whatever you do, never tell him to quit his job JUST to see you more often. If he seems happy tosee you whenever he can, your on the right path. Just think about it....would your relationship with him be so awesome if you saw each other EVERY single day. Would it feel so good to see him EVERYDAY? Trust me...if you did see him alot more often, you guys would'nt last very long unless you're EXTREMELY into each other. Just let him be, and be grateful you get to be with him at all.

You are fine...don't worry...but let him make the next move or communication...it's okay to express how you are feeling, especially if someone has already expressed their feelings toward you...but don't overdo...
If you saying you like him causes him to run away, the he isn't a good one for you...but I doubt you said anything to scare him off...there's always the chance he didn't get the message...

Don't be anxious about his not replying just yet. Some of us do not check messages all the time much less respond to them immediately.
Take a moment to examine your feelings about this relationship. This level of anxiousness about a reply you haven't received appears to indicate a certain level of uncertainty on your part. No one person is going to be the "be-all, end-all" in meeting all your expectations, much less answering all your messages.

I don't think your text message would run him away. Maybe he didn't get it. Wait till you see him next time and ask him. In the mean time don't worry and keep in mind he is real busy.

I think it was sweet, there is no reason why you shouldnt share your feelings about someone you care about. Maybe he is busy and wants to come up with an equally sweet response to you. Give him time to respond and dont worry about it. All things happen for a reason.

TAKE IT SLOW
I f you are a marine shouldn't you through your training have thought processes to deal with this situation.
I always thought that the armed forces were capable of diffusing any situation.
Personal or otherwise.

Honey if he wants you he knows where to find you. Don't put all your marbles into one box. There's plenty of fish in the Ocean. Go fishin' and hook somebody who ain't gonna ignore you.
