Umm.. I'm not thinking too much about this but I want you guys to have your input on this.
My boyfriend and I have been going out since somewhere a little before the mid of September. We came into a little thing about concerning love. He says that love is a strong word. I think he takes love seriously and wants to be careful on that aspect in anything. I'm just not sure if he just simply likes me a lot or loves me.
Honestly, for me, I love him. I'm afraid of saying those words to him ("I love you.") when I mean it because I'm afraid of his reaction or words that would follow.
We both knew of each other's existence way before this school year started. It was until I saw him again when this school year started that I began talking to him a lot before we went out. So basically, we don't know about each other deeply. However, he lets me know that we should get to know each other more during this relationship because during our fun times of talking before we went out, we got to know each other more.
I want to type more about my relationship, but this is the main thing I want to focus on because I don't want to mess up when I tell him seriously one day that I love him. redface

I don't know if this helps. He's a Virgo and I'm a Pisces. I know it has nothing to do with it, but I thought I might as well throw it in there.
(The striked out was still the same/similar problem that I'm going to be asking advice for)

*UPDATE*
Right now, my problem is pretty much the same as the last time. So far our relationship has come to a point where we are getting comfortable and happy with each other.It's been almost a year since we went out and that, of course, I haven't told him what I honestly feel about him. I really love him.
It's almost our first year anniversary and it'll be almost this next up coming month around the 16th. As much as I took the advice I took from everyone so far that had helped me to relax and take the best action for this. I did do my best to be natural with such a statement. However, given his last relationship that he was so most ultimately in love until she cheated on him, I was trying hard to make him happy and for him to be comfortable enough to open up to me that I feel that I can't say it.
His past relationship was his first and it lasted for 5 years. I honestly feel like that I can't compete with such a relationship that was so ultimately engaged with each other until she fell out with him a few months before it ended. In my opinion, I can't see how or why she would want to break up with him. Coming from hearing his side of their relationship and actually experiencing of being with him, I cannot see how or why she would cheat on him.
Besides all that, his last relationship left him deeply damaged and leaving him with depression and trust issues. With all those reasons, I have become a coward in telling him on how much I honestly feel about him. I don't want to make the mistake of telling him how I feel and making or relationship worst if he's not ready for this.
I don't know exactly how I should approach this without backing down from this relationship. I don't to give up in being with him.
Quote me, please? ;; I'd like to be able to respond/read any advice that could be given to me.
