How guys are when they are in love

Kell, 23, from UK, asks:

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 2 years. We get along great. When we first met we became close friends. We had much in common and things progressed. He asked me to marry him and I accepted. Our engagement is after 2 months the thing is sometimes I feel he loves me too much and it kinda scares me. He gets upset if he oversleeps or sometimes when I joke around and say are you bored of me and he says that somethings shouldn't be joked about, that I changed his life and that he will make sure that he never upsets me and if he upsets me he gets sad that he did and sometimes all of this scares me. It feels like it's just so not real. Is this how guys are when they are in love?

VictorM's advice:

No. Your fiance is just weird and you are even weirder for being with him.

OK... Yes, I'm kidding. How did you like the joke? Maybe some jokes just aren't funny to some people and we should learn to recognize this.

Your boyfriend seems overly eager to be the perfect mate. Is this how most guys behave when they're in love? No. But that's how your guy behaves. He does sound uptight. Too uptight? That's a matter of personal tolerance. Some women might find his behavior endearing, some would want to fry his nuts. But in this case, only your opinion matters.

You should be honest with yourself. Is his behavior scaring you or are your feelings about him scaring you? You know, there are many characteristics about people that can be a turn off. If someone this uptight is a turn off, it's not a crime. Don't continue in a relationship just because the guy loves you madly. It's most important that you love him too. Yeah, I know you said you get along great. But getting along great and being in love are not the same thing.
