I love him I am just not affectionate which can be a problem I want to start being more affectionate but lack that when I was growing up so displaying affection is hard for me.

Explain to him that your not openly affectionate like most people are, and that you like to keep things private and that your not used to showing how you feel towards someone.
It takes time in order for you to be openly affectionate, if you also explain this to him perhaps he'll understand. If not then its just no use pushing the issue. But for yourself take small steps to be more affectionate, hold hands and even cuddle a bit. The small things can lead you to be more affectionate then you are now.

At least you respond when he says he loves you. The more you say it (and mean it), the easier it will be. He loves you the way you are. It's great that you want to be more affectionate for him, but if its not you then don't force it. He will still love you.

Sounds like you don't want to drop your guard. Do you really love him or are you just being nice and like him?

It means you waited for him to say it first because you were worried that he might not say it back if you said it first.

It comes with time practice saying it everyday it will come naturally eventually

you are just not sure how to bring out your personality to him. just get out there and tell him first that you love him. you will get the hang of it soon. ( but don't embarrass yourself. ) :)
