I'll tell you what happenned to me,,maybe it will help. I met my wife on a friday night,,,that same week- end on Sunday she said "I love you"..I was shock,,I got teary eyed, I didn't know what to say.....So I just hugged her,,,,We have been married for 7 years now. So, it might not be a bad sign but simply a shock or too overwhelming for words or like in my case,,,totally surprised.

Huh, well there are too many social variables, hard to know if I wasn't there.
Also, was it a man or a woman? I mean if I saw a man did that I would be very confused.
If a woman did that to me, well, I don't want to give you the wrong answer, but I would personally think that she is not ready to say it or has some sort of block about it that is not cleared up. If it is bothering you, I would first see how the next interactions go and if they are very awkward then talk about it.
Also love grows at certain times, sometimes it takes longer for one person, if they are still with you then that is a sign that they may just need more time.
If it happens again ask, why are you crying and try to figure it out while it is happening if possible.

Being a girl I would probably agonize over the whys and mull it over and over in my head. I would talk to my girlfriends and get their take and I might even ask a question on here! I would put the blame on myself and wonder what I did wrong.
I've never been in your shoes but I've been in the other shoes.
My future husband was the first to say "I love you" and I reacted in the same way. Why? While I thought it was sweet I wasn't sure I was feeling the same way. I liked him A LOT but was really trying not to be in a serious relationship and focus on my studies. I was feeling emotions but was really trying to fight them off. Saying it back to him would have been a lie in that moment. I had to think things over. This went on and on for a few weeks. He kept saying it. I would smile and say nothing or kiss him. One day we were getting off the phone and he said "Bye, I love you" and like nothing I said "I love you too" and click. I stood there looking at the phone and thought...omg..I DO love him! He called back at once and said "Did you hear what you just said??!!??". We've been together for 20 years.
If you love someone, keep putting it out there until they say "I love you" or "I don't love you". You just never know. :)

Nothing. They will tell you when they feel it. Just because you are at the point where you feel confident in saying that does not mean the other person feels the same. Be patient and continue to express your feelings, but do not take it the wrong way when they do not respond like you think they should.

It's probably a good thing. If they teared up and looked scared, not so good, but since they smiled and teared up it's probably a good sign. They may have felt overwhelmed with emotion and that's why they didn't say anything.

A passionate kiss, adoring gaze, loving smile... all those issues *ought to* tell the story. Attentiveness is likewise a biggie. Any sign of impatience or distractedness ought to sound an alarm. i'm able to in lots of cases tell by making use of the silent expressions and mannerisms one reflects in keeping with a minimum of a few thing i've got pronounced or executed. Like a compliment or a loving gesture. The silent reactions say all of it. =) of direction I ought to faucet into my inner moo. =)

I told my boyfriend before he told me. He didn't say it back for about a week. That was good to me. I would not want someone to say it just because I said it. People feel different things at different times. I always thought it was WEIRD that one person says I love you, and the other says it right back. It seems so fake to me.

"I love you"
Some people will say it at the drop of a hat, some will rarely say it. It has very different importance levels to different people.
It's impossible not to read into it, but at the same time know that reading too much into it will likely only run you around in circles not getting you anywhere.
If you love this person, trust them enough to have a talk about it.

Could take it 1 of 2 things ... either they love you too so much that they couldnt return the emotion but it spilled out thru their eyes or they are sad cuz they dont feel the same way. I hope its the first option. Good luck!!!

I dont know
have they ever said it to you before?
id trust them like
they like you
yet probably dont want to say it just because you have
they want to say it on their own grounds
and they want to be sure of it
dont worry, i think this person is genuine
otherwise they wouldnt of got all teared up
