My (24F) boyfriend (26M) told me that he’s worried that he won’t fall in love with me and now I’m extremely insecure in our relationship

My boyfriend and I have been officially dating for two months. I told him that I love him last week. I didn’t expect him to say it back and was perfectly fine with his reaction (kissing me and being all smiley).

A couple days ago he told me that he’s never had someone tell him that they love him and he couldn’t say it back. He said this made him worry that he’d never fall in love with me. This hit me REALLY hard because that’s exactly what my last boyfriend said to me...only while he was breaking up with me.

Me and my boyfriend talked about it and I said that it’s okay that he doesn’t love me back right now and that just because he doesn’t right now, it doesn’t mean that he’ll never get to that point. When he left my house that day we left on a good note and he promised me that we’re good, but I’m just sad. Before this, I had never felt so confident and secure in a relationship before and I was so happy. But now I’m constantly worried that he’s going to randomly break up with me. I’m full of anxiety and it hurts that I feel like I can’t daydream about our future anymore. I’m now suddenly terrified I’m going to go too far if I show him too much love.

Do I continue on as if everything is normal (he did tell me we’re good after all)? Do I tell him how I feel? Do I tell him about how my ex told me the same thing as he was breaking up with me (bf already knows this ex as I met him as I was getting over the ex)? I don’t want to rock the boat but I don’t know what to do.

tl;dr: my boyfriend told me that he’s worried that he’ll never fall in love with me after I told him that I loved him. This is the exact same thing my last boyfriend said to me as he was breaking up with me so now I’m not confident or secure in our relationship
