Does he love me?

We have been talking about 2 months, seeing each other most everyday, talking daily.

We have kept it casual, as in not putting pressure for the long term in the beginning but exclusive and both wanting long term.
I guess we are hopeful but not trying to jump straight into “forever” and pin all our hopes and dreams on each other from the get go. Going slowly, trying to build something organically.

Today, we were joking around on text and he said I was very smart.
At which point, I said “oh, you love it!”

His response was “I love for many reasons”

I just kinda went on my merry way after than but looking back… did he just imply he loves me?
