He says he can't imagine our relationship ever ending and he doesn't want to date anyone else, but he can't say (after 5 years) if he might want to marry me. We're both out of college and in our mid-twenties... we're not getting any younger! Should I just keep waiting for him to be ready or should I move on at this point?

 If your relationship is working just fine, then what's your rush? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 Well he knows how you feel, all you have to do is wait. If you truly love him. However, if you feel like you could just walk away from the situation then maybe you may not even WANT to marry him. You don't want to force someone into it. My advice would be to drop the subject and enjoy having an exclusive partner who loves you.
Imagine how good it would feel if in a short time after you not worrying (or asking) about it... he pops the question, totally unexpected?!?
I'd say just wait... but if you can't handle it anymore - stop spending time together (instead of breaking up of course) Just let him know that you aren't excited about his "shy" behavior towards marriage, but that you love him and will wait until he's ready (BUT not forever of course)
