Any ideas girls?

So me and my boyfriend(23both) we have been dating just under 5 months and I asked what are we 2,5 months ago! He’s not very open to saying cute stuff through text maybe he’s not that type but he does show affection by hugs kisses and holding my hand :) for the first time he said I miss you too back to me last night when before he’d always say Awww we’ll find time to go out soon as we both in school and work! We haven’t had sex yet but he does touch me sexually here and there and no one has said I love you yet ( I don’t really want to be first lol I was the first to say I like him I miss him and to ask what are we so I think I should leave the I love you to him to say first) soon we’re planning on going away for the weekend and maybe sex happens then crossing fingers and maybe he says I love you! He called me gorgeous once he’s not a huge texted but he does check in a few times a day! When you guys think he’ll say it should I wait ? Anyone else have or had a boyfriend like mine? No negative or rude comments please!!!
