<<<So Confused>>>

Alright so me and my boyfriend have been together for 7 months now and i really do love him i mean i have never felt this way for anybody in my life! He is like my best friend and just so much more, but i just dont really know how he feels about me and so i was hoping that you guys can help me out on this one...?
* So we talk every night and day when ever he isnt at wrestling practice. I see him as much as i can but he lives like 20 minutes away and he has wrestling everyday and if not wrestling then work and then i also work a lot now because i just got promoted at my job so we may see eachother once or twice a week if we are lucky....sad i know...but when we are together we have so much fun and i dont know i just love being around him because i feel so safe and comfortable you know? Now he texts me when im in school and talks to me and he always says that he misses me and he told me about 2 months ago that he feels like he is falling for me but i havent heard anything about that since that day. I mean i dont want to rush things but i just feel like there is something holding him back that he isnt telling me and i feel like i should be doing something to help but i cant and i feel helpless. I just feel like i wouldnt feel so dumb when i say i love you to him if just one time he would say it back...I mean he always tells me that he is thinking about me all day at school and how he misses me and stuff like that and when he found out that 2 of my ex's were trying to steal me away from him obviously he got mad but more then anything it seemed like he got sad and disappointed that someone would try and do that...he never used to be an emotional person but he told me that i have made him grow emotionally and now he tells me how he feels a lot more then he used to...He does a lot of sweet things for me and i can tell that he cares about me like he always tells me to wear my seat belt and he got really mad when he thought my shorts were too short and made me change(which i was ok with) he also got mad when he found out i was speeding on the freeway and he just always makes sure that i am safe which he never really used to do before. Also lately i havent been able to sleep at all at night like 3 nights in a row i have been up untill 4 in the morning just trying to go to sleep and the first night i didnt call him or anything and then i told him about it and he told me to call him if i couldnt sleep again so that night sure enough i couldnt sleep and i called him and i fell asleep 5minutes after we got off the phone and he just always finds ways to help me out. Also i recently joined in the Navy and he is real sad that im going to be leaving but he is also really proud of me at the same time and when i have to go to Physical Training every week and i am in pain saying that i cant do it he is the one telling me that i can even when my parents are telling me to just give up...Im sorry this is so long but i really need to know what is going on with him does he love me but is too scared to say it or is something really holding him back?

I know its long but i need help

Didnt you say before that he was 'afraid of falling' for you, because you joined the navy, and he doesnt want to fall for you and then have you leave?
that might have something to do with it

U should tell hi how u feel.....

I believe the reason for him being like this is the same as you. You feel if you tell him you love him he may not respond, dito for him. Lack of seeing oyu is leading him to wonder if you really should be together as it is difficult. I think he likes you more than friends. Men are sometimes hard to decode lol. Ask him how he feels. Most men open up in relationships and this is probably new to him so forcing a barrier is keeping his masculinity sane lol. Just talk to him and bring up casual conversation and then just pop out something like, ' Wonder what life will be like in 5 years' Maybe you will get the response you need =D
