Said ‘I love you’ but didn’t get it back

Have to be brief as he’s asleep but will wake up soon. Been with boyfriend about 6 months, we’re early 40s. We’re compatible, get on great, want same things etc. Have felt like I love him for a while and said it last night. He said ‘awww’ and cuddled me and then said ‘how do you know?’ To which I replied I just did. so obviously he doesn’t feel the same yet, or maybe he never will I guess. I wasn’t that surprised he didn’t say it back as he’s previously said it takes him ages to fall in love and he’s not sure he ever has been. Obviously long term I don’t want to be with someone who’s not in love with me but not sure at what point I should cut my losses! I don’t want to make a big deal of it with him but I’m not sure if I should just say nothing and wait, or ask him if he thinks his feelings are going that way or what. Please be nice!

First time my OH said it to me I was falling asleep and didn't respond. I did say it a few weeks later though. We had been together 16 months
