Well....this one is tricky. I mean you decided to date a man five months off a marriage (is he actually divorced at this point or was he five months off of his divorce when you met) so it stands to reason he'd take things slow. Tortoise slow. Like the turtle would never win this race with the rabbit.
I'm glad you love him and that's wonderful, but you might want to wait to really feel him out on this one. Clearly, you're already invested and my guess is that he probably is too, but maybe he's still reeling from his divorce (?). But...you can't wait around forever either. If you love him, that won't just change, and I don't know that you can worry about scaring him off. Nearly five months is a short amount of time in the grand scheme but its long in love. I'd probably wait it out a little longer and just determine if his actions dictate that he might be in love with you too.
Does he do nice and sweet things to show you he cares? Romantic gestures? Does he pay attention and listen? You know, does he really give a doggone about you and your well-being?
If all those things are in sync (no Timberlake) then if you tell him he should be okay. But just remember, he's out of a marriage, not just a long term relationship. So it might stand to reason to ask him what his goals are here too.
Just realize that a man's emotions can be a very fragile thing too. Once we open up it crushes us just as hard when things go sour. So give him some time until you can't handle it anymore and if you need to tell him then do it.
It's springtime. Love is in the air anyway.
