Friends with benefits always say "good night, love". Does it sound like he likes me?

we are very affectionate with each other. we are attached to each other. we text daily.

but none of us hinted we want a relationship. I use a lot of pet names like Mr. Lovely bear, Sweetie, honey. He doesn't use it. But he does say "good night, love" every night to me.

We still haven't gone on a date. He has never hinted or said he wanted
