I think you were hoping Gabe would take the opening to make some huge declaration of love. From what I can see, guys rarely do that. Your happiness shouldn't depend on what he says, thinks or does. You are your own person responsible for you. Isn't your main love language Acts of Service(if not it certainly is Gabe's as that is how he is showing you love from what I can see all the way over here in Kansas).
If yours is a different love language gently let him know what it is. You can be as subtle as a brik and say it...Gabe, I really like when you do xyz for me. It makes me feel loved and I appreciate that. Come on girl, what are you waiting for?
