Been with someone for just over 4 months now. Was my second internet date so wasn't expecting to meet someone so soon and it really took me by surprise. He isn't my usual type and never tells me how he feels ever but shows me in practical and physical ways eg he holds me all night when he stays over, he cleaned up after my dog when he was hideously sick, has fixed loads of things round my house, drives me to work everytime he stays despite me working in the community which means he often drives miles out of his way etc. I feel so happy when I am with him and a bit empty when I am not and really think I am falling in love with him.
Trouble is I don't know what he will say if I say it, but I don't think he will ever say it first. Also without outing myself too much he achieved something really huge this weekend and has become quite well known in the area / filed he achieved it in as a result. He has already had lots of people, women included suddenly coming out of the woodwork when previously they never spoke to him and I don't want him to think I am only saying it because of this. But for the past few weeks I have really had to bite my tongue so I don't blurt it out.
So my question is, do I say it and if I do (in a few weeks bviously when this whole thing has died down a bit) do I say I have something to tell him or do I just slip it into conversation casually.
Oh and no laughing at me. I have only been in 2 relationships in my life, one for 15 years and another for a year so this is almost totally new to me. Thank you
