<human>: 20f, with 20m, for going on five months.

For the past month or so, I've felt incredibly strongly about my bf--I realized that I was into him in a way I'd never been with anyone else before.  "I love you" had been on the tip of my tongue for a while.  Not something I'm entirely proud of, but the first time I said it was about two weeks ago, when both of us were a bit drunk and about to start fooling around.  He didn't respond, but great sex and exhausted, sweaty cuddling ensued. Since then I've said it on two other occasions, thankfully in more sober situations.  Both times boyfriend still didn't respond, but did do things that showed me he cared.

The fact that he didn't respond isn't the problem here, for two reasons--one being, that I didn't go into it expecting immediate reciprocation.  I understand that love is something everyone approaches on their own terms, on their time.  I know he cares about me and wants only me, I just wanted to let him know how I felt.  The second reason is that I know emotional vulnerability and intimacy are things that bf is a bit hesitant about.  His father treated him and his mother very badly when he was in their lives, so it's difficult for him to trust others and to trust himself to not somehow fall to that bad influence.  I get that he's probably not in a place where he can say for sure that he feels the same way, and that's okay.

What I'm not sure about is, where to go from here regarding *me* saying it? I worry that if I start saying it often, he'll get annoyed or feel like I'm pressuring him to respond.  But not saying it at all seems like a daunting task when I feel as strongly as I do.  Asking him about it could probably clear this up, but even that seems like I'm putting him on the spot.  I'd really appreciate Reddit's insight!

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Told bf I love him, and it's cool that he didn't say the same.  But do I keep saying it from here on out, or will that make things uncomfortable?
