Is it normal if he never asked me out but were together?

Its kind of how two people can be together forever without getting married and they don't feel a difference so they're happy. That's how me and my bf are except we do plan on getting married eventually. The only difference is he never verbally asked me to be his girlfriend. Things just fell into place. We started out as hooking up then molded into dating and not even noticing, we just realized we were committed to each other. I was loyal to him he was loyal to me without a relationship. Little by little we met each others families and became more of a serious item where pple recognized we weren't single anymore so they couldn't get involved w us anymore.

It's been 4 years and were basically together and I never asked him out or he never asked me out. When pple ask us who we are to each other we say bf/gf sometimes my boy/girl or bae/boo. Things have just been working. I remember the first year was really stressful because I would get stressed over the lack of effort he would give and vice versa but its cause we werent in the right place to be official. You know when you meet the right person but at the wrong time? I guess that was it except we didn't say goodbye. We just stayed in touch and gradually molded into this item. He does lack emotions and is a perfectionist so I can understand why he was was indecisive bout being together or not. For me, I was also indecisive bout being in a relationship at that time.

But like I said, we did our own thing but stayed in touch although we lived in different cities. Now we live in the same city so it is easier . Sometimes I feel naked about our status cause we never verbally put a label on it but most of the time I love how we are. I couldn't have asked for someone better, not only his personality but his mindset is just like mine. Not a lot of people are mellow like us anymore. Its become more demanding out there especially for a relationship. I don't think I would be able to handle so much stress like that and he would just be like "fuck it."
