Is it normal i should be single so i don't hurt people?

I'll try to keep this short since I have a habit of getting a little too wordy, I'll do my best.

I've been with my current boyfriend for a year now and I thought I loved him but the past week or so has made me unsure. He didn't do anything to me, nothing has changed. He's upset I haven't been over to see him lately, mostly due to work but I could have stopped by if I wanted to. I usually do go out of my way to make time for him, but recently I haven't and he notices.

I'm not sure why - like I said, he didn't do anything to me. Did I just not love him to begin with?

Sometimes I question whether or not I know what love is. I don't think I do. We have so much in common but the one thing I feel but there's some things that still bothers me...like the fact that he still won't take his shirt off around me because he's self conscious - I understand that and I don't want to force anyone to do things they want to do, but it feels like it's putting a wall up against me from the fact that it's been a year and still, nothing.

That's just one example. I'm trying to keep it short but eh. I don't want to hurt him. But I feel like emotionally and mentally I've checked out and I don't know how or why.

I don't want to hurt him but I don't feel the same way anymore. I'm not sure what to do, I feel like such a shit person.

He's brought up things like marriage and is having me help look for a house for us and I'm afraid! I love him, but I don't want this yet. I don't want to settle down and feel any more stuck than I already do.

And before you mention it, yes, I know I have to communicate with him - but how can I, when I barely understand the problem? The root of my issues? I barely understand what I'm feeling but I don't want to hurt him.

    Dont know how old you are or anything but from judt this, i say bounce now. You will save yourself and him a lot of problems down the road. If you are not "ga-ga" for him now, you never will be. If he is talking buying houses and you are just, meh, its not going to work.

    Be 100 with him though. Tell the truth.

    Sounds like commitment issues. Just be honest with him about what you're feeling so he stops going La La La about you. The longer this dishonesty carries on for, the more hurt and pain it will cause, especially if you just don't pitch up at the altar.
