 To tell you the truth, I wonder if people know what 'in love' and 'love' means, the way they throw it around.
Back in my dating days, when a guy I was dating was trying to guilt trip me into doing something, he'd say, "But we love each other" or something to that effect ... and I would say, "No ... WE don't ..." I never felt compelled to tell anyone that I love him, just because he said it to me. I dated a lot but I only loved two men: my first love and my husband. So, I think you and your boyfriend are quite normal. Those people that 'love' all of their boyfriends and girlfriends? I don't think they understand the meaning of the word ...
I don't think you have anything to worry about. From what you've told us, I'd say you two may not know what 'in love' is yet, but you know what it's not.
More power to you!

 It really depends on the couple in question really, some people fall in love after a week, or a month, while on the other end of the scale some people it could be over the course of several years. No i don't think that you need to worry, you enjoy each others company, you are comfortable around each other, and you can tell each other anything. Love could manifest itslef anytime, just be patient, it will come, probably when you both least expect it.
Merry Christmas x
