Cool "Love" vs "In Love" ??

Dredging up an old post, but would really like some feedback on this .....!

What about your guy in your new-ish relationship (friends for years and then something surprising and rare just emerged in the last 3 months!!) saying *pre-relationship* that he's never been in love before ....but then, after the lightening bolt connection / commitment .... he says all the time "I love you", unsolicited, unadorned, and sincere as can be...not flippantly. ( I love him, too ...and we say it all the time)

Gotta be honest with you, though ..... a guy saying he's never been in love when he's over 30 seems to be a red flag, from my feminine perspective. I'm curious about this .....sooooooo...three questions to GC.

a) Is considering that a red flag reasonable?
b) Should I hold out for the "in love" comment or assume it, considering the circumstances and the credibility of this great guy?
c) ... and should the 'in love' comment be necessarily stated?

I'm waaayyy outta practice and may have slight trust issues (that I am determined to exclude from this relationship!)..... I have my own very strong opinions, but am very interested in other perspectives, both male and female. Help!
