We act like boyfriend and girlfriend but he won’t commit, I don’t know what to do? (29F/26M)

When we met, he said he wanted a relationship and couldn’t do casual and we’ve been inseparable since. I’ve met a few of his friends, he’s met some of mine, we do act like boyfriend and girlfriend, there’s no other people involved, we’ve always been very open with each other and we get along great.

He’s a sweetheart and I can’t imagine myself with anyone “better”. I have been single for a LONG time and I’ve had my share of terrible dating experiences so I know I’ve got a good one here.

Last weekend I spoke to him how it bothers me a bit that he keeps calling me “his girl, his baby” but doesn’t ask me to be his girlfriend. I said I won’t do a situationship, he said he’ll ask soon and that he doesn’t want to lose me. He said he wanted it to be a special moment.

So last night he invited me over have me a little gift and took me to his favourite restaurant. It was all perfect and I legit thought he would ask… hours went by, and nothing.

I know a little over a month is not a long time but I feel closer to him than I’ve felt to people whom I’ve spent more time together.

I’ve had experiences in the past where guys would act like my boyfriend for a few months and never actually commit so I’ve set my standard that I will not put myself through that again. Im just scared he’ll say he likes me but can’t see a future with me or something and the more I hang out, the more I fall in love with him.

I’m going through a difficult time (pet grief) and I’ve already have enough anxiety and I don’t want to have another thing to worry.

We have plans for this weekend and next weekend but I don’t want him to get comfortable with me being there without being able to call him my boyfriend and it’s slowly starting to make me resent him because he knows how I feel about this and won’t do anything about it. Should I bring it up how it’s making me anxious or should I just wait and pretend everything is ok? I feel like if he wanted to, he would’ve already so I’m slightly considering ending it although it would hurt me a lot.

Help?
