The series' progression is actually on hiatus precisely because of Marinette's hesitation. So many times she has had a golden opportunity to confess, and it always fails miserably, either because she lies or can't go through with it. It's not just Adrien's obliviousness. Many times he has been so close to figuring things out, but since Marinette always lies when he confronts her, there's never any progress.

We know of course that not only are they teenagers, probably the most difficult age in a human being's life. They also have superhero work to do, and that just adds to the stress and mess they are in. A reveal would probably make things even more difficult for them, so it's better if they don't know who each other is behind the mask... yet.
