Not sure if bf wants to take it to next level

So me and my boyfriend are long distance, we’ve been dating for a year now and we don’t get to see each other that often but when we do we make out a lot and the farthest we’ve gone was me giving him a hand job and our shirts came off. We’ve never actually discussed sex, I know we are both virgins but could him not mentioning going to that level mean he’s not ready or could he be waiting for me to bring that up?
