Does he still love me?

I have been in my current relationship for just about 5 months. I am beginning to feel that my bf may not really feel the same as I do or at least not as into me as he has. I only question this because recently we have gone out and then when his friends come out from work he seems more excited around them than he is with me. I ALWAYS am saying I love you first to him he says I love you too. But he will say it in a hurried or not meaningful way. I have brought that up to his attention and he says that I should know that he loves me and just because he says it like that doesnt mean anything bad. It does hurt a little that he gets more excited when his friends come around and we do see eachother everyday so maybe thats just getting old and we need our own space? I was never really jealous and recently I have felt more jealous than I ever have and that feeling bothers me. Im scared to bring things up with him but know that that is poor communication on my part and things will not get better if I dont speak up. I have told him I need reassurance just like he does. Im always touching his leg or doing something little letting him know that I care and he doesnt to me and he tells me all the time its the little things that count and I agree but why isnt he doing these little things to me? Im not asking for all the attention but something little here and there when we are out especially in front of his friends would help me know that he really cares about me. I just feel like Im the only one in the realtionship trying to make anything work. Or the one that is only showing that I really care about him and Im not knowing that he cares. How should I bring this up to him or should I continue on in this relationship? Any thoughts/advice?
