<human>: I know I am really young compared to 90% of the people who submit on this subreddit, but I really hope some of you will take the time to help me out instead of disregarding it as teen drama.

We have been dating for almost 10 months now, and it is both our longest relationship. Neither of us have told each other we love each other. I really feel like I could call it love, I've never experienced it before, but I can't stop thinking about him, and just recently I've been so happy when he crosses my mind. I get excited to see him, even for a few minutes and I always feel protected and safe with him.

He doesn't show a ton of affection, and it's hard to talk about deep subjects with him sometimes because he can be a little shy about opening up. I'm really afraid that if I say it he will not feel the same, and it will put a dent in our relationship. I'm afraid by not saying anything, he assumes I don't love him either. I don't think I could find myself comfortable around him knowing I'm more indulged than he is. I'm just the kind of person who stresses way too much.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I'm a young girl in love. I'm afraid telling my bf of 10 months could possibly ruin the relationship if he doesn't feel the same.
