The beginning of our relationship was very intense, almost teenage like - obsessed with each other and full of wacky ideas about our future. Very immature really but it did calm down to a more realistic pace and now we see each other a lot still but we're not shagging like rabbits anymore or dreaming of skipping through magical fields arm in arm so to speak. Despite this, I am still very much in love with him. I thought he felt the same.
More recently however I could sense things between us was cooling right down and so I asked him about it. His response has really thrown me. He said "I've not known you long, we're just getting to know each other, let's just see how we go?."
I know he hasn't really said anything wrong but in the beginning I had us mentally walking down the ailse to Guns N Roses and living happily ever after - I know it was stupid but he encouraged these ideas and made out that he was as in love with me as I was with him.
Then he turns around and says we're "just dating". I asked if he felt we should break up and he said no, he still wants to be with me and he still hopes we have a future together but we need to be realistic and stop living in a fairytale. I know he's making sense but it feels like such a smack in the face 
I asked him if he'd every marry again (as this has been playing on my mind as it's something I really want eventually) and he replied "errrr yeah .... probably ... but I'd have to have been with that person for ages first" -
"That person" - not me then?
Am I reading too much into it?
Now, how do I go from thinking I am with the love of my life to "just dating someone"? It's not like I can just turn my feelings off.
