That is so cool! I was fortunate to be able to exchange those precious "I love you's" with my YF when he was between 9 to 11 years old. It seemed like it just kind of fizzled out after that, which was a darn shame. You are VERY fortunate to have a YF of that age who is not too "weirded out" to be able to tell you how he feels and that he loves you. I'm very happy for you.
