<human>: Okay so first and foremost, I am aware that this may come off as an immature question for some but I need an answer and don't know where else to go. 

My girlfriend and I have been dating for 7months now and from the beginning she expressed that she was a sexually timid person in general as well as a virgin (wanted to make sure she was with the right guy). I have never once pressured her into doing anything and as a result our relationship, and sexual intimacy, has developed beautifully and quite naturally and just the other day she said she was thinking about the the prospect of having sex more and more.  

The thing as I know that I have 100% fallen for this girl. I want to tell her I love her because I'm starting to realize I've felt this way for a while. Would it be weird for me to do so if we still have not become completely intimate? Would this come across as me saying it only for sex? Or is my confessing love what she could be waiting on?

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Don't know if saying "I love you" to my girlfriend of 7months would be appropriate if we still have not had sex.
