<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I had been married for over eight years and amicably divorced over the summer. I met a younger man online and we clicked instantly. We have a lot in common, he makes me laugh and I am genuinely happy when I am around him. He feels the same way about me and is more expressive verbally than I am. 

Initially our goal was to motivate each other to be the best that we can be, he has positively helped me get fit, improve my self esteem and reach out to my estranged family and friends. 

He has expressed his love for me on numerous occasions but that is one thing I have been unable to reciprocrate. I just can't seem to get the words out of my mouth. I can see how much it distresses him and how patient he has been with my committment phobia and it really bothers me. Even now as I type, I find myself dragging my feet even  saying to myself he is the one, although I really want him to be the one. Gosh, I hope you can make some sense of this jumbled text. 

Some of my friends think I should date more and then determine that. I have met guys in the past but none of them interest me as much as he does. My question is, is this the fallout from my divorce? I must also add that we have talked about a future together with kids and settling down.
<bot>: My guy loves me. I really like him but can't seem to say the L-word and it is causing him pain. Help me fix this, reddit..
