You can have intimacy in a relationship without having sex. Just think about it. Many people just have mindless, shallow hookups without remembering who or what the other people are about. It's okay if you are not that kind of a person. Don't be fooled by popular opinion. As long as the two of you openly communicate your wants and needs, then your relationship will run its natural course. I think it's wonderful that your significant other doesn't find you inadequate and accepts you for who you are. There are plenty of healthy ways to get to know someone. It sounds like sex isn't the be all end all for him and that he genuinely cares about you.
Now, if you have a problem with your inability to feel comfortable with having sex, then you may want to seek out some help or resources on the matter. However, that's up to you. Don't let anyone force you to do something you're not ready to do. It could also be in your nature to be on the asexual spectrum.
Then again, don't get wrapped up in labels. If things are great right now, just enjoy it.
