The L-word --- I'm ready,...he's not...Help!

Maybe you shouldn't be making plans like that then until you hear those three words.

Ring and wedding talk is sure to get any girl riled up, expecially if it's with a boy she really likes.

You're just going to have to be patient, slow down a bit, and enjoy how things are going. I know you want to lock this guy in, but there are two people in a relationship, not just one, and he needs to take his time to get to the same level.

Back when I knew I loved my girl, I didn't say it, because she wasn't ready yet. I had to wait three months, and then she was ready.

Ok..a bit of background:
Been dating my guy for 2 months. We hit it off hardcore right away and have probably progressed to the level of a 6 or 8 month relationship woudl be at in only 2 months. Reached that comfort level where we can act and look and do whatever - basically the 'impress you' stage is way over....which is soooo good because now we're just settling into the relationship...
BUT....we've also progressed to the point of agreeing to put money away to buy a house next summer...as well as chatting about timeline for a wedding soon after etc etc.
Well...last night we aired our 'plans' to my parents and while it was fine at the time...because we didn't discuss anything that he and I hadn't already discussed ourselves (house..wedding etc)...it started to bother me after the fact, because we haven't said the L-word yet.

I know what most of you are going to say..."It's only been 2 months!!"...and "You don't need to say you love someone to play to buy a house!"....I get all that...but when it ties in with chat about a wedding...having kids (he jokes about getting pregnant all the time)...it just seems SO backwards that we're talking about that stuff...and making plans for it yet we have't professed love to one another.
I made the mistake of bringing it up with him last night and he blatently said "Hun..I really like you and I care about you a lot but I'm not going to say it just because you want me to"...I corrected him immediately saying that I would never guilt or trick him into saying it because I want him to mean it when he does. Plus I told him I wasn't saying it either at this point. BUT he and I both know that he's not the best at expressing his true feelings/emotions verbally.
He said "I wouldn't be making all these plans with you if I didn't see them happening with you"...

So right now in my mind I'm thinking "We're making all these plans that couples make when they're in love --- but we're not in love"...
Now - having said that - I pretty much am ready to say it. I'm much more of a passionate person than him and I always jump in with both feet. I don't necessarily expect him to be the exact same way...but I'm having trouble with the fact that he's all happy and excited to talk about a wedding and kids yet he's also fine with the fact that he's "not there yet" with the Love part.
He said there's definite potential there and time is what he needs.

So ya- I did a good job of hiding the fact that I am ready to say it (to save my dignity of not having it said back - and also not to pressure him to say it) ....but now I'm scared of this whole entire situation. That I let me feelings evolve for him way too quick because of all this planning that we're doing.

I'm probably right when I say that I'll just have to suck this up for now and give him time....but this is still bothering me bigtime and I have to see him tonight....so I thought maybe...just maybe I could get a bit of insight on how to handle this. At least to the point of feeling better about it. Like I said..I've probably answered my own question...but would like some input anyway.

Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ya- he doesn't talk to his friends about his relationship
so no Disney moment for me

...I just don't see how you can make plans like that....when you don't love someone.
It just doesn't add up

You can feel the L word within 2 months? And you expect the same from him?

Do you see the problem here?
