need to express myself better

A follow on from my previous thread basically...
I've come to the realisation that i need to express myself better. My bf is always telling me he loves me and that i'm beautiful ect - i've asked him not to say it so often because i don't want it to lose the meaning.
I've never been a very lovey-dovey affectionate person. I suppose that's just how i am. My bf and i went out for a brief period back in 2004 when i was 14 and he was 18, it ended basically because he didn't feel mature enough. I was absolutly gutted and it took me months to get back on track. I never really got over him. We had a year apart where we both grew up alot and eventually got back together. But during that time, i became more solid and closed myself off more.
I feel it's a bit one sided because he's always showering me in affection and i've asked him to cut back because it is abit much - i really do love him but i find it hard to show it. How can i begin to express myself better?
