A real connection or bullshit?

My co worker adores me and I like him. He drove me home recently, and as we walked to the car I put my arm in his and he walked me with a small. At the end of the ride I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He said that his heart fluttered. The next day, I come into work and apologize if it made him uncomfortable because I don’t know if he’s a single man, but I assumed because he flirts with me so much. I told him that if I were his age or he were my age, he’d be mine. He’s reiterated that once to me as well. So he told me he’s been living with a woman he met online 8 years ago and doesn’t love her. She’s an ex drug addict and it seems that she mooches off him. He said he’s looking for another reason to leave, but he’d have to be a big reason. He brought up the age difference and that if we were to be together he’d feel bad that he’d die earlier than me. But he said if things were different for him, in the car, instead of getting bashful, he said he would’ve cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. He said that a kiss from my lips would be paradise. To feel me near him. He said he doesn’t want to lose me and ever since we met he wants me around and feels like he needs me. He said if we were to be in a serious relationship, he would spend everyday making love to every inch of my body. He said this while taking my face into his hands and holding me close. He wanted to give me a ride after work, but I said I shouldn’t and I need to respect the situations he has with the woman he’s living with. He said he doesn’t love her, they haven’t been intimate in 8 years and he keeps her around because she ended up getting cancer. At the end of the day, he said he noticed I was sad and wasn’t looking at him. He asked me if I wanted to text him during the weekend. I said no. I really like him and feel we have some sort of strong connection. Is he being honest about himself and his situation? I feel like I want to be with him. Is that a stupid fantasy?
