Need advice on my Leo boyfriend

We have been together for 7 months. A year before he met me his girlfriend of 8 years decided she didn't want to be with him anymore. So we when started dating he told me he wanted to go slow because what she did really messed him up and he didn't want to get hurt again. 7 months now and we still only stay nights with each other a few Times a week and random dates. He didn't officially ask me to be his gf till we were together 3 months. I'm a fast moving person so this is hard for me. I love him and want to say it but he isn't ready to say it yet so he hasn't. Is this normal for a Leo? He is so slow moving and it makes me crazy. I know he isn't seeing anyone else but I'm starting to feel like after 7 months if he doesn't love me then maybe he is just keeping me around because he doesn't want to be alone.

Bad breakups definitely affect a person. He might just be protecting his heart. But at the same time, you need to know if you're wasting your time. Only way to know that is to ask him.

Dating 3 months before gf title. Another 4 months... seems fast to me.

I think I'm just having issues because it sucks to not be able to tell your boyfriend that you love them when you want to. I've just never had a boyfriend that is so slow moving and is okay with not seeing me everyday. I'll admit this is the beat relationship I've ever been with so I guess what he is doing is working. I'd just like to get more serious and he isn't ready.

How old are you both?

He is 29 and I am 25.

? Why cant you tell him you love him?

If its the truth, what's the problem

I've told him maybe 5 times that I love him.. He knows. I just stopped because he won't say it back. I understand he is probably scared. I have never been with anyone longer than about 2 years so I don't know exactly what he went through. I know he was really hurt and I don't blame him. I guess it would just be nice to hear the words.
