Woah, do you read what you write? At least I found that really hard to read...

You've definitely gotta be able to open up to someone if you're close to them. It doesn't all have to be big, meaningful stuff. Nor does it have to be all mushy (though some mush is definitely good, lol). Just talk about your day, what you did, how you're feeling about stuff, what's making you happy at the moment, some idea you had recently, something weird that happened to you... and/or ask him about any of those things.

If you can't say "I love you," say something else sweet ("I love you" might be kinda strong only a few weeks in anyway). Like "you make me real happy," "you're so funny," "you're awesome," "you look hot in that," "I kept thinking about you while I was at blah," ...

I think a lot of what makes it hard to talk to people is how you think they expect you to act. Like if you've been quiet around someone for ages, it's hard to change. Try doing it gradually - ramp it up over a few conversations. Either that or if you happen to get caught up in the moment - say you find yourself laughing hysterically together at something - then the rush might make it easier to loosen up for a bit.

Wish you luck!
