He says he can't love me

I've been with my boyfriend for 10 months now and I love him. We get along great, we do stuff on the weekends and have fun together, we hang out with each others friends and family, we go to the same church, and hang out with other couples at church. We are attracted to each other but we have chosen not to have sex yet; I feel this is important to mention. I feel like we've built some sort of a life together. We talk during the week and he always calls me, he always takes me out on dates and he treats me the way a woman should be treated. His friends also tell me that he has changed for the better since we've met. He is awesome and I feel like I could be with him for a very long time. I feel it's important to set the stage here to show that his actions tell me that he loves me. Here comes the "BUT". I told him I loved him a couple months ago which at the time, I knew he wasn't quite there yet but I felt he should know. He's really stressed at his job and figured his mind was more consumed with that then anything else. He told me he was flattered but he didn't feel the same way yet and I was okay with that. I told him I wouldn't pressure him and I haven't. I told him I loved him that one time and that has been it. Skip ahead to this weekend where he told me he wishes he felt the same way about me as I do about him. He said he has been trying but he just can't yet and feels like he needs more time. He said he felt like something was wrong with him for not having the same feelings since we fit so well. It felt a little bit like he was breaking up with me so I asked him. He said he wasn't breaking up with me, just having a discussion. So, here's my feelings on this. Our discussion scared me a little, it makes me want to draw away from him in fear that he is going to break my heart. If he hasn't developed some kind of feelings for me in almost a year, will he ever? When he kisses me, does it mean anything? Does he ever miss me like I miss him? Could he just be confused or scared? I'm willing to wait for him but how long is long enough? I'm not really sure what to do or how to feel about this.
