Dating advice: express with words??!?!?

this is going to seem very elementary...so consider this a fair warning.








BACKGROUND:


We are in our mid-20s....been dating over a year...his mom just flew me up to visit her a month ago, so were pretty serious it seems....no fights....fantastic friendship....etc





QUESTION:





How/Why say ';I love you';?





DETAILS:


we don't talk about feelings or anything (weird i guess) but its very evident that we are crazy about eachother. many ';I love you'; moments, but never the words...just the moments accompanied by silence and its very comforting and sweet.





of course i want to say the '; i love you';....ive said it in past relationships (u know, the relationships where you're so anxious that you WANT to say 'I love you' so you do bc your so infatuated with the person and the idea of loving them that you mistake it for love...) but this is different...the love comforts and excites me in a relaxing way rather than making me anxious and excited.....basically, it feels REAL and not like 5 year old puppy love....feels so real that it just seems natural and expressed in its own way aside from using words....





so....actually saying it hasnt come up...





so,....what is a girl to do? I dont mind not saying it, but i would like to express myself with him once and a while and we never do!! lol...we both are very affectionate through action, just never with words....i enjoy it but im not used to it.....should i just let it be or try the whole 'saying how you feel' thing?
