Talking about feelings

Been with my gf coming up for a year and she literally never talks about how she feels about me. I've said a few times how much I like her, how happy I am, how well I feel it's going, and she gets so awkward and doesn't respond.

I don't even mean that I've told her I love her (I probably do love tbh but given her response to the other chats I don't feel I can go there). Are my expectations too high/is it too soon or is it not normal to have this mental block around it?

We've met each other's close friends and family, been abroad for a week, see each other when we're free.

At first I thought she was maybe less comfortable expressing it than I was but I got quite upset about it at the weekend, told her I felt my feelings were one sided. She didn't confirm or deny and is now acting like the conversation never happened?
If she knows I'm upset about it and is still choosing not to tell me it's not one sided, does that mean it is?

I am on your side with this

There are no sides. It's not a battle. If OP and her partner are different, that doesn't mean that she's right and her partner is wrong.

OP, it's much easier to look at incompatibility rather than fault.
