Confused about this Virgo guy

He's been loving me for a very long time now and he finally admitted it to me. He told me kept his guard up for a long time because he's been hurt in the past and I can understand this. I've been very patient with him and I do have lots of patience. I'm Aquarius/Pisces cusp and I have lots of Pisces traits. I'm very loyal to him and always there for him. He mentioned to me how he's happy and how he notices how I'm always there for him not matter what; "you're always there no matter what and listen to me, question me what's needed to be asked and I love how we're sitting in a room together and don't have to say a word, I always feel okay around you. And I do love you. but that's not it, I still have my guard up for a reason, so please show me somehow that you love me."

Little bit after that he kept mentioning things to me. He also has Asperger's and it's extremely hard for him to open up. He's always very loyal, there for me, caring, gives me advice, treats me nicely and I love the way he kisses me, hugs me and cuddles with me. I never felt like this with with any other guy. I love this Virgo guy so much and he knows of this. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. He gets very hot and then cold, but he continues to chat with me and talk to me. I'm sure he still needs to make sure he's ready for a relationship and I continue to be supportive of him whenever he needs it. I listen to him, ask him questions, patient with him and do little things for him. Just saw him recently and spent 10 days with him and he got very protective of me and wanted me to get home safe and sound. Told me to call him as soon as I got home and he messages me over Facebook: "You home yet—" Everyone tells me that he loves me and to be patient with him but sometimes I just get confused. His father is happy that he has someone to talk too and who understands and he does a lot of things for me too. I'm thinking he's scared of getting hurt again. His last girlfriend cheated on him and that was two years ago. We've been hanging out a lot since last May and then I moved with my family and he missed me a lot once I left. I live three hours away but we both always see each other. I visit him often and stay at his house and now he finally opened up to me after so many months. I'm still learning about his disorder so I can be very supportive of him.
