Do Sag men lightly say I love you to a female?

OK I haven't been on this web site in years. But I'm in a quandary over a sag guy's declaration that he loves me. I've known him for over a year. We've hung out, talked, had dinner with other friends, heck I tried to hook him up with a friend of mine who thought that he was handsome. And to put it all out there, I have a sort of crush on another but he's complicated and I don't know what I truly want with him. (He's a Virgo, and I don't want to deal with another Virgo man.)

I'm Aquarius, moon in libra, cap ascendant.

So here is what confused me about the Sagittarius man. We are friends. I know so much about him. I know his detailed thoughts on love and marriage. I met him a year ago, when we were both getting over our long term ex relationships. We've dated other people. We've talked about our dates and how the energy wasn't there. Over drinks a few weeks ago, he mysteriously told me that he was thinking about asking some woman out, but he never told me who she was. He didn't want to put her name out there without talking to her first, so I let it go, wishing him the best. I knew that I knew here though. Either way he's away on vacation last week and this week, on the other side of the world--quite literally. We've stayed in contact. So we were talking through videochat the other day and he kept calling me 'baby' throughout our convo. He then told me that he loved me.

I know next week, after my own vacation, that I'm going to safely put this in the 'probably nothing' category. But I wonder if that's normal for a sagittarius man to say that? I've had guy friends in the past, and really no one's said that they love me. But I don't want to put wierd energy into the situation. He's a great guy. He's sweet. He listens to me. He doesn't take offense when we disagree or I get bossy. We laugh But I've just assumed that it was a friendship energy that we shared as we met as we were healing ourselves and supported each other I really never believed that he was ever checking me out when he asked me about my dates and crushes. I never once had that vibe from him.

So do Sag men with scorpio moon just say "I love you" to friends of the opposite gender? (I forget his rising.) Is my sensitive nature towards the whole declaration of love thing confusing me over something that I would never say to a guy without meaning it?!? So I'd really like to hear from sag's if y'all tell people that you love them without meaning it romantically to non-relatives?

Well, scorpio moons are intense. My boyfriend has one and he's very intense. Ummm, I'm sure he does love you. You have been his friends from what it sounds like for quite sometime. Sags love their friends exspecially when they don't try to date them haha. So maybe it's some of that?

It's just that he's never called me baby or told me that he loved me before. It really threw me for a loop. And no I've definitely never tried to date him. What he said yesterday came so suddenly that I was unsure and thrown for a loop. I tossed and turned last night trying to figure it out. If he is to remain my friend only then I'll tell him that I take the 'I love you's' as serious matters that isn't said between friends. But if he meant what he said then we can discuss it. If his views on future marriage and children someday in the distant future is still the same, then he will definitely stay in the friends only category. (I don't plan on getting my heart broken falling in love with men who want to be bachelors for life.) But either way I leave for my vacation tomorrow and we are both back in town in ten days. And I do want to see his pictures and his stories of travels to places that I haven't been. (I'm taking a domestic trip.)

And yes we actually met in an adult enrichment class last year. We had mutual friends, so it was easy to start up a conversation. Before class I know someone introduced us. And we've hung out alot, and he's great. If I didn't want the best for him, then I would never have set up a female friend to meet him. (She told me a few weeks ago that he was handsome and at first glance she liked him. But she realized that it wouldn't work.) I did that because I could see that he was looking rather sad and withdrawn without explanation. Like he was there physically, but something was aching that he wasn't sharing. And if he does love me, then he sure had a funny way of showing it.

I really did tell him months ago that he reminded me of my brother. Then in the same breath I said that it was really nice having him watch out for me and I would do likewise.

My super intense and warm hearted scorpio family except when we fight would never say I love you lightly to a friend. My sensitive nature would stop me from lightly saying something like that to a guy if I didn't mean it. So if he meant it, I guess he's going to have to prove it. If not by the time I see him, I'll be in a frame of mind of 'whatever.'

But come to think of it, I've never bothered keeping in touch with people at home when I travel internationally. Ugh, he's confused me completely with video sayings. You think that the scorpio moon would kill light hearted declarations?
