Forced marriage

Assalamu alaikum

I said yes to a proposal from a guy a couple of months ago. He is deendar prays and appeared to be of good character. We are supposed to get married next month.

We started chatting on phone to get to know each other. Earlier it was just normal conversation but after a day or two he started expressing his emotions. It was nothing sexual in nature. But it made me very uncomfortable when he said things like I will express my love for u after marriage, u mean so much to me...etc .

It made me very sad and uncomfortable because I thought him to be a very decent man.

I told him about this but he doesn't understand and continues being emotional. So I told my parents that I can't marry him but they say it's too late now to back off as wedding invites have been sent and it will bring disgrace to the family.

My question is will this marriage be considered a forced marriage now that I don't want to marry him but am just going ahead with it to protect my father's dignity?
