I've been in a long on-again, off-again "fling" with a guy that has a regular cycle of breaking up with me when I say I want something more serious. He admits he has a problem opening up and that it's very hard for him to discuss (or even understand) his own emotions, which is why things have never really worked out between us. Then, every time I think it's over, he reaches out to me again. We've both briefly dated other people, but we are each other's number ones. [1]

In the last few months, he has sporadically burst out with his emotions about his confused feelings for me and last week he suddenly told me he loved me!! I know he hasn't said the L word to anyone for a long, long time so I would say this is forward progress on opening up. However, since then we haven't discussed anything and I'm now paralyzed by fear — I don't want to jinx it. Should I just see what happens or should I say something? I know we can't walk away from each other but I feel like we can't move forward either. What do I do?
