Could it mean that he would want more than just sexting?

I've been sexting for months with this friend that I've known for years now. We never talked about having something serious together. He compliments me a lot, protects me, makes me laugh.. I was wondering, could it be a sign of him wanting more than just sexting, when he sends hearts during these kind of text messages and keeps saying he loves my company and to see me? Or could it be only a thing guys likes to tell girls while sexting, to make them feel good?
